Ischemia-modified albumin concentrations should be interpreted with caution in patients with low serum albumin concentrations.
OBJECTIVE Ischemia-modified albumin (IMA((R))) is a novel marker for assessing cardiac ischaemia. We assessed the relationship between total albumin concentrations and IMA in serum to investigate whether interpretation of IMA was albumin-dependent. SUBJECTS AND METHODS 298 serum samples were assayed for total albumin (albumin), using bromcresol purple, and IMA, using an indirect colorimetric ...
متن کاملIschemia-modified albumin concentrations in patients with peripheral vascular disease and exercise-induced skeletal muscle ischemia.
BACKGROUND Ischemia-modified albumin (IMA) is a new marker of myocardial ischemia, there is concern that IMA concentrations may be affected by ischemia occurring in tissues other than the myocardium. METHODS We assessed 23 consecutive patients (15 males; mean age, 67 years) with typical leg claudication and documented peripheral vascular disease (PVD). All patients underwent both treadmill-ex...
متن کاملLow serum albumin concentrations are associated with disease severity in patients with myasthenia gravis
Serum albumin (S-Alb) is a widely used biomarker of nutritional status and disease severity in patients with autoimmune diseases. We investigated the correlation between S-Alb and the severity of myasthenia gravis (MG).A total number of 166 subjects were recruited in the study. Subjects were divided into 3 groups (T1 to T3) by S-Alb levels: T1: 21.1 to 38.4 g/L, T2: 38.5 to 41.5 g/L, T3: 41.6 t...
متن کاملSERUM GLUCOSE, BILIRUBIN, CALCIUM, PHOSPHORUS, PROTEIN AND ALBUMIN CONCENTRATIONS
Serum levels of glucose, bilirubin, calcium, phosphorus, protein and albumin were measured in a group of nine healthy men before, and on the first, 10th, 20th and 29th day of Rarnadan, and four weeks after Islamic fasting was terminated. There was a significant reduction in body weight, a significant increase in serum bilirubin and a slight decrease in calcium during Ramadan. Serum glucose decr...
متن کاملHigh-workload endurance training may increase serum ischemia-modified albumin concentrations.
The measurement of cardiac troponins has emerged as the biochemical "gold standard" for the diagnosis and management of patients with acute chest pain. However, earlier markers should support investigation strategies, as several patients with acute coronary syndrome might present with non-diagnostic concentrations. Ischemia-modified albumin (IMA), measured by the albumin cobalt binding (ACB) as...
