Albumin to globulin ratio, a predictor or a misleader?
We appreciate the letter to the editor by Alkan et al. [1] in response to our recently published article [2]. Alkan et al. bring up some potentially valid points about our study. They suggest rheumatic diseases should have been excluded from the study population, as these conditions are ‘important causatives for chronic inflammation.’ They also suggest the inclusion of elderly subjects older th...
متن کاملNeutrophil-to-Albumin Ratio as A Novel Predictor of Mortality in Patients with Sepsis
Background and Objective: Sepsis is a syndrome involving physiological, pathological, and biochemical abnormalities caused by infection. Very few studies have been performed to evaluate the prognostic value of the neutrophil-to-albumin ratio. The present study aimed to evaluate the neutrophil-to-albumin ratio in patients with sepsis admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU). Materials and Meth...
متن کاملThe Albumin/Globulin Ratio: A Technical Study.
In 1885-6 Kauder observed that globulin was precipitated from serum when the concentration of ammonium sulphate reached 24 to 29 per cent of full saturation and that its precipitation was complete when the concentration reached 36 to 46 per cent of complete saturation. Thereafter no further precipitation took place until the concentration reached 64 per cent of full saturation, when albu-min st...
متن کاملThe Albumin/Globulin Ratio in Serum
THE SEPARATION of albumin from its associated globulins in serum or plasma has exercised physiologists and biochemists for many years. Several methods are available for assessing the albumin content of serum by prior precipitation of globulins (1-9). In 1949 Martin and Morris (10) examined a series of methods (1, 2, 5-7) and concluded, by comparison with the results of “free” electrophoresis, t...
متن کاملThe pretreatment albumin to globulin ratio, a validated biomarker, predicts prognosis in hepatocellular carcinoma.
PURPOSE Although the albumin to globulin ratio (AGR) has been proven to be a prognostic factor in several cancers, no studies have assessed its prognostic significance in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the prognostic value of the pretreatment AGR in the survival in HCC patients. METHODS 150 patients were enrolled, who were confirmed of HCC from Octo...
