Aim: To evaluate whether patients diagnosed with hypoalbuminemia have higher risk of developing peptic ulcer bleeding (PUB). Background: Low serum albumin levels are particularly common in critically ill patients. Life-threatening upper gastrointestinal (UGI) hemorrhage is a stress-related mucosal injury or stress ulceration in critically ill patients. Patients and methods: We conducted a retro...

protein- energy malnutrition, wasting and inflammation are frequent complication among patients with end-stage renal disease (esrd). malnutrition is associated with cardiac co-morbidity, inflammation and poor survival in esrd patients. serum albumin is a well-known marker of nutrition in esrd patients. serum albumin is still the most commonly used nutritional marker in esrd patients. c-reactive...

BACKGROUND Vancomycin (VCM) treatment outcomes depend on the characteristics of the patient, and it is well known that hypoalbuminemia is a risk factor for poor treatment outcomes, as reported in a previous study. However, the reason that severe hypoalbuminemia has an influence on the treatment outcome of VCM remains unknown. OBJECTIVE To elucidate the association between severe hypoalbuminem...

Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of preoperative hypoalbuminemia on the development of intra-abdominal septic complications (IASCs) after primary anastomosis for patients with Crohn's disease (CD). Methods All CD patients undergoing bowel resection with a primary anastomosis during the study period from 2007 to 2015 were enrolled. The association of preoperative hypo...

INTRODUCTION: Hypoalbuminemia is a common laboratory finding in patients with systolic heart failure (HF), occurring in approximately one third of patients. (1) The possible mechanisms of hypoalbuminemia in patients with HF are malnutrition, chronic inflammation, infection, hemodilution, proteinuria, and other mechanisms. By reducing colloid osmotic pressure, hypoalbuminemia can affect the degr...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the benefit of adding hypoalbuminemia to the American College of Surgeons-National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (ACS-NSQIP) Surgical Risk Calculator when predicting postoperative outcomes in colorectal cancer patients.The ACS-NSQIP Surgical Risk Calculator offers qualified risk evaluation in surgical decision-making and informed patient consent. To ...

Hypoalbuminemia is common in the intensive care setting, and preoperative hypoalbuminemia is reported to be associated with an increased risk of post-operative complications in adult cancer patients. However, studies of hypoalbuminemia in childhood cancers are scarce. Objective: We conducted a study to look at the incidence of hypoalbuminemia at diagnosis of neuroblastoma, the most common extra...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the occurring mechanism and clinical characteristics of severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) associated with hypoalbuminemia in early stage and its influence on prognosis of SAP and the preventive and therapeutic management of this disease. METHODS One hundred and thirty-eight cases diagnosed as SAP complicated by hypoalbuminemia in early stage were accepted in our hospita...

Normal albumin loss from the plasma is thought to be minimized by a number of mechanisms including charge repulsion with the capillary wall and an intracellular rescue pathway involving the major histocompatibility compex (MHC)-related Fc receptor (FcRn)-mediated mechanism. This study investigates how these factors may influence the mechanism of hypoalbuminemia. Hypoalbuminemia in rats was indu...
