Effect of hypoalbuminemia on mortality in cirrhotic patients with spontaneous bacterial peritonitis

Tzu Chi Medical Journal
Objectives: The impact of hypoalbuminemia on the short-term and long-term mortality of cirrhotic patients with spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP), both with and without renal function impairment, remains insufficiently elucidated based on population-

A Study of Hypoalbuminemia and Pleural Effusionin Pediatric Nephrotic Syndrome

Althea Medical Journal, 2017
Background: Nephrotic syndrome (NS) is a kidney disease that is most often found in children. Hypoalbuminemia in NS can cause a decrease in oncotic pressure causing extravasation of fluid into the interstitial space.

Thyrotoxicosis associated with severe hypoalbuminemia and hyperbilirubinemia

The Egyptian Journal of Internal Medicine, 2017
Thyrotoxicosis is a known cause of nonspecific abnormalities in liver function tests: most commonly mild elevations in serum bilirubin and liver enzymes, and rarely decreases in serum albumin levels.

Mechanisms of hypoalbuminemia in hemodialysis patients

Kidney International, 1995
Hypoalbuminemia is the most powerful predictor of mortality in end-stage renal disease. Since protein-calorie malnutrition can decrease albumin synthesis it is assumed that hypoalbuminemia results principally from malnutrition in these patients, but albumin synthesis may also be decreased as part of the acute-phase response, and hypoalbuminemia can ...

Combined Prognostic Impact of Low Muscle Mass and Hypoalbuminemia in Patients Hospitalized for Heart Failure: A Retrospective Cohort Study

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease
Background Sarcopenia and hypoalbuminemia have been identified as independent predictors of increased adverse outcomes, including mortality and readmissions, in hospitalized older adults with acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF).

Hypoalbuminemia with valproic acid administration

Pediatric Neurology, 2003
Valproic acid and its derivatives are commonly administered antiepileptic drugs for children and adults. Five residents at a children's long-term care facility manifested hypoalbuminemia while being administered divalproex, although serum liver function test results and urinalysis results were normal. When the patients were free from valproic acid, the

Hypoalbuminemia: Pathogenesis and Clinical Significance [PDF]

Journal of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition, 2018
AbstractHypoalbuminemia is associated with inflammation. Despite being addressed repeatedly in the literature, there is still confusion regarding its pathogenesis and clinical significance. Inflammation increases capillary permeability and escape of serum albumin, leading to expansion of interstitial space and increasing the distribution volume of ...

Targeted decrease of portal hepatic pressure gradient improves ascites control after TIPS

Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022
The river diagram demonstrates that after transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt insertion (TIPS) the majority of patients without ascites and 50% of the patients with ascites detectable at ultrasound, show the best response in the long term follow‐up.

EXPERIMENTAL HYPOALBUMINEMIA [PDF]

Journal of Experimental Medicine, 1941
1. Adult dogs maintained for 6 weeks upon a carrot-protein-deficient diet exhibited a progressive fall in the serum protein confined entirely to the albumin fraction. The degree of hypoalbuminemia was pronounced, i.e. a fall from 3.75 to 2.00 gm. per cent. 2.
