Significance of admission hypoalbuminemia in acute intracerebral hemorrhage

, 2017
Low levels of serum albumin may increase the risk of infections and mortality in critically ill patients. We tested the hypothesis that admission hypoalbuminemia predicted infectious complications and poor outcome in subjects with acute intracerebral ...

Severity of Hypoalbuminemia Predicts Response to Intradialytic Parenteral Nutrition in Hemodialysis Patients [PDF]

, 2009
BackgroundIntradialytic parenteral nutrition (IDPN) is used infrequently to correct hypoalbuminemia in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients. We hypothesized that the severity of baseline hypoalbuminemia correlates with the success rate of IDPN therapy

The Prognostic Value of EDRIC and Its Association With Radiation‐Induced Lymphopenia in Patients With Esophageal Cancer Undergoing Radical Radiotherapy: A Single‐Center Chinese Study

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study aimed to evaluate the predictive value of the estimated dose of radiation to immune cells (EDRIC) in patients with esophageal cancer receiving radical radiotherapy. We retrospectively reviewed the data of patients with esophageal cancer who underwent definitive radiotherapy at our institution.

Unintentional Weight Loss Does Not Predict Poor Outcomes in Zenker Diverticulum

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
In this study of 427 patients with Zenker's diverticulum, 23.6% had significant unintentional preoperative weight loss. Weight loss was associated with preoperative dysphagia and with both the smallest and largest pouches. Postoperative outcomes were similar in patients with and without weight loss, demonstrating a similar efficacy and safety profile ...

Serum Albumin and Uric Acid Levels Among Hypertensive Patients in Northwest Ethiopia: A Comparative Cross-Sectional Study. [PDF]

Health Sci Rep
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Hypertension is a long‐term condition marked by consistently high arterial blood pressure. Hypertensive patients often experience altered serum albumin and uric acid, attributed to factors like inflammation, kidney damage, and the activation of the renin angiotensin aldosterone system.

The impact of malnutrition on clinical outcomes in patients with perianal fistulizing Crohn's disease undergoing seton placement: A retrospective study

Nutrition in Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Perianal involvement occurs in up to 50% of patients with Crohn's disease (CD). Despite combined management, 10%–20% require fecal diversion or proctectomy. Nutritional status may influence prognosis, but its role in fistulizing perianal disease is unclear.

The relationship between oxidized serum albumin and blood pressure in hypoalbuminemic peritoneal dialysis patients

Clinical and Experimental Hypertension, 2017
Background: Oxidative stress produces molecular modifications of serum albumin that disturb its biological functions and interfere with its detection by the bromocresol green assay (BCG).
