Burns that affect ≥20% of the total body surface area trigger a major inflammatory response in addition to capillary leakage and loss of serum proteins including albumin. Persistent hypoalbuminemia is therefore common in major burn patients. The purpose of this study was to determine BACKGROUND
Diuretics are commonly used in the intensive care unit (ICU) for patients with fluid over-loading. Hypoalbuminemia is a major cause of diuretic resistance. Albumin mixed with furosemide can promote diuresis and sodium excretion in patients with hypoalbuminemia. The purpose of this study
Therapeutic monitoring of the pharmacologically active (free drug) fraction of protein-bound medications (e.g., phenytoin) represents a major diagnostic challenge in clinical and laboratory medicine. While free drug levels may be beneficial in many clinical situations, current methods for predicting
The mechanisms leading to hypoalbuminemia in sepsis were explored by measuring plasma volume, albumin distribution, plasma albumin transcapillary escape rate (TER), and efflux (TER x albumin intravascular pool). These parameters were quantified in infected rats, injected intravenously with live
Many factors can lead to edema. Hypoalbuminemia and the inability of the renal distal tubule to excrete salt are a common cause of edema, that can be due to a defect of albumin synthesis or malnutrition, kidney disease, protein-losing enteropathy, or increased protein catabolism. Hypoalbuminemia is
OBJECTIVE
To investigate whether albumin administration is beneficial in early stage of postoperative hypoalbuminemia after gastrointestinal surgery.
METHODS
A prospective randomized control trial was designed. One hundred and twenty-seven patients suffered from hypoalbuminemia after
BackgroundOptimal concentrations of unbound antimicrobials are essential for maximum microbiological effect. Although hypoalbuminemia and albumin fluid resuscitation are common in critical care, the effects of different albumin concentrations on the unbound concentrations of highly
BACKGROUND
a freshwater fish Ophiocephalus striatus or known locally to Indonesian as haruan,can potentially increases IGF-1 and albumin levels in elderly patients with hypoalbuminemia due to the contents of amino acids, fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals. This study was conducted to investigate
The rate of albumin synthesis and the serum levels of amino acids were measured in three patients suffering from anorexia nervosa. In comparison to the control group the rate of albumin synthesis was lower for the two patients with hypoalbuminemia and the serum levels of valine, isoleucine and
Objective: To describe 2 dogs with acute kidney injury secondary to type III hypersensitivity reaction to 25% human serum albumin (HSA).
Case series summary: Two dogs were
OBJECTIVE
To describe the administration of 5% human serum albumin (HSA) in 588 critically ill hypoalbuminemic dogs and cats, and report outcome to discharge, changes in albumin concentration, and adverse effects during hospitalization.
METHODS
Retrospective clinical study.
METHODS
Private emergency
Some physicians co-administer albumin with loop diuretics to overcome diuretic resistance in critically ill hypoalbuminemia patients, though previous studies have reported conflicting results on this matter.The effects of adding albumin to furosemide to BACKGROUND
We conducted a randomized, controlled trial to determine whether supplementation with oral branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) improves serum albumin and clinical outcomes in heart failure (HF) patients with hypoalbuminemia.
RESULTS
We randomly assigned 18 in-hospital HF patients with
We delineate a complication of hypoalbuminemia in dentatorubral-pallidoluysian atrophy (DRPLA), which we have found to be common in this disorder. In addition, we explored the pathogenesis of this phenomenon through clinical and histological examinations. Clinical course and laboratory findings of
Some discrepancies exist about the relationship between serum albumin level and the pathogenesis of osteoporosis; moreover, most of the studies available have especially concerned patients with osteoporosis, often associated with fractures. Our study, therefore, aims to investigate the presence of a
