Dynamic assessment of prealbumin for nutrition support effectiveness in critically ill patients

Clinical Nutrition
BACKGROUND & AIMS Serum prealbumin is considered to be a sensitive predictor of clinical outcomes and a quality marker for nutrition support. However, its susceptibility to inflammation restricts its usage in critically ill patients according to current ...

Cellular origin of prealbumin in the rat

Biochimica Et Biophysica Acta - General Subjects, 1982
The synthetic rate of prealbumin and albumin in primary monolayer cultures of rat hepatocytes was measured by immunochemical methods. The isolated hepatocytes synthesized these proteins in the same ratio as that previously found for the whole body synthesis in vivo. It is concluded that the hepatocytes synthesize the main part of prealbumin in the rat.

Prealbumin: The clinical utility and analytical methodologies

Annals of Clinical Biochemistry: International Journal of Laboratory Medicine, 2020
Prealbumin is a small protein which has been widely evaluated as a nutritional and a prognostic marker. The small size and concentration of prealbumin in blood proposes challenges on measuring it with high sensitivity and specificity. Over the years, a number of analytical methodologies have been developed, which may help establish prealbumin as a ...

Calcium-45 binding by human prealbumin

Journal of Applied Physiology, 1959
Calcium-45 binding by human albumin and prealbumin has been studied. Protein separation was performed by continuous paper electrophoresis. Calcium-45 was added to the fractions and the mixture incubated at 37℃ for 24 hours. Unbound calcium-45 was removed by dialysis against tap water for 16 hours, the pH of the fractions remained between 8.6–9.1 at ...
