Ursodeoxycholic acid improves bilirubin but not albumin in primary biliary cirrhosis: further evidence for nonefficacy. [PDF]
BACKGROUND/AIM: In randomised controlled trials (RCTs) of ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA), although serum bilirubin is frequently reduced, its effect on disease progression and mortality is unclear.

Increase in serum albumin concentration is associated with prediabetes development and progression to overt diabetes independently of metabolic syndrome. [PDF]
Serum albumin concentration is associated with both type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome (MetS). We sought to investigate whether baseline serum albumin and change in serum albumin could be independent risk factors for prediabetes in subjects without ...

Serum albumin in Hodgkin's disease [PDF]
Serum albumin levels were measured by electrophoresis in 552 evaluable patients with Hodgkin's disease. Determinations were made on all patients at onset, on 224 after induction therapy and on 78 in relapse after remissions of variable length. At onset a discrete hypoalbuminemia was evident, inversely related to stage and more marked in symptomatic ...

Correlation Between Serum Albumin Level and Degree of Esophageal Varices in Patients with Liver Cirrhosis [PDF]
Background: It has not been clear about how often the patient should have esophago- gastroduodenoscopy (EGD) screening for esophageal varices (EV) detection and there is only some data that demonstrates the correlation between the degree of EV and non ...

Relationship Between Serum Albumin and Risk of Atrial Fibrillation: A Dose-Response Meta-Analysis
Background: The dose–response association between serum albumin and atrial fibrillation is not well known. This study aims to assess the relationship between albumin and atrial fibrillation and the potential dose–response effect.Methods: Studies reported

The antioxidant properties of serum albumin [PDF]
Free radicals are a normal component of cellular oxygen metabolism in mammals. However, free radical‐associated damage is an important factor in many pathological processes. Glycation and oxidative damage cause protein modifications, frequently observed in numerous diseases. Albumin represents a very abundant and important circulating antioxidant. This

Changes in urine volume and serum albumin in incident hemodialysis patients. [PDF]
IntroductionHypoalbuminemia is a predictor of poor outcomes in dialysis patients. Among hemodialysis patients, there has not been prior study of whether residual kidney function or decline over time impacts serum albumin levels.

Objectives Reliable predictive biomarkers for response to immune checkpoint inhibition (ICI) are lacking. Pretreatment serum albumin, a known prognostic and predictive factor in ICI‐treated patients, has been proposed as a potential pharmacokinetic ...
