Hypoalbuminemia after liver transplantation (LT) is associated with acute kidney injury (AKI) and poor outcomes in adult LT recipients. This study was performed to examine the association between the ...
This single-center retrospective review involved pediatric LT recipients (0-18 years old) treated from January 2013 to June 2020. All patients were admitted to PICU and received standard post-LT care ...
Among 108 LT recipients, most had biliary atresia. The median age at the time of LT was 1.8 years [interquartile range (IQR), 1.5-5.7]. There were 18 patients in low albumin group [median albumin leve...
Postoperative hypoalbuminemia was associated with early postoperative AKI following LT in children but not with other worsening outcomes....
Currently, there is an irrational use of drugs in the treatment of hypoproteinemia. This study evaluates the value of 12 injections to provide a basis for drug selection for the treatment of hypoprote...
The content of the first restrictive amino acid, the comprehensive quality of the total essential amino acid, and the closeness to the whole egg protein or FAO/WHO model were evaluated to compare thei...
The lowest synthetic value of human serum albumin was 18AA-V, and the highest was 18AA-II. The CS values of HA, 18AA-V, 18AA-II, 18AA-Ip, 18AA-IIp, and 19AA-Ip were 0.18, 0.58, 0.78, 0.55, 0.54, and 0...
Patients with normal liver and kidney function should choose compound balanced amino acid injection, while patients with abnormalities should choose 3AA. Patients with renal dysfunction should choose ...
The objective of this study was to evaluate the association between serum albumin levels and microcirculation changes, glycocalyx degradation, and the clinical outcomes of interest....
Observational, prospective study in children with sepsis. The primary outcome was the association between hypoalbuminemia and microcirculation disorders, endothelial activation and glycocalyx degradat...
A total of 125 patients with sepsis were included. The median age was 2.0 years (IQR 0.5-12.5). Children with hypoalbuminemia had more abnormal microcirculation with a higher PBR (2.16 μm [IQR 2.03-2....
In children with sepsis, an association was found between hypoalbuminemia and microcirculation changes, vascular permeability, and greater endothelial glycocalyx degradation....
Obesity is among the risk factors identified that impair postoperative wound healing. Recently, malnutrition and sarcopenia have also been found to correlate with poor surgical outcomes; however, the ...
Autologous breast reconstruction procedures (pedicled and free flaps) were collected from the 2009 to 2019 National Surgery Quality Improvement Program databases by CPT codes ( n = 23,690). Patients w...
A total of 10,865 procedures were included in analysis; 4565 involved patients with obesity (42%). Obesity was associated with increased length of stay, reoperations, wound complications, and medical ...
Hypoalbuminemia, a marker of malnutrition, is underappreciated in obese patients and is associated with worse surgical outcomes after autologous breast reconstruction compared with obesity alone....

Oxidative stress is a major source of ROS-mediated damage to macromolecules, tissues, and the whole body. It is an important marker in the severe picture of pathological conditions. The discovery of f...
Invasive fungal infections (IFI), are estimated to occur in 2%-14% of kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) in the current era of immune suppression and are associated with high mortality rates. We hypo...
In this study, using data from a prospective cohort registry, we describe the frequency of IFI due to Blastomycosis, Coccidioidomycosis, Histoplasmosis, Aspergillosis, and Cryptococcus in KTRs with se...
A total of 113 KTRs with IFI were compared with 348 controls. The incidence rate of IFI among individuals with normal, mild, and severe hypoalbuminemia was 3.6, 8.7, and 29.3 per 100 person-years, res...
Hypoalbuminemia precedes the diagnosis of IFI in KTRs, and is associated with poor outcomes following IFI. Hypoalbuminemia may be a useful predictor of IFI in KTRs and could be incorporated into scree...
This study aimed to evaluate the correlation between hypoalbuminemia upon admission and the incidence of postoperative urinary tract infections (UTIs) in elderly patients with hip fractures....
A retrospective analysis was performed on the medical records of elderly patients who underwent surgical treatment for hip fractures at a level I trauma center from 2013 to 2023. Serum albumin levels ...
This observational cohort study included 1279 patients, among whom 298 (23.3%) developed UTIs. Patients with albumin levels < 35 g/L had significantly greater odds of developing UTIs compared to those...
The presence of hypoalbuminemia upon admission in elderly patients undergoing hip fracture surgery is strongly correlated with the occurrence of postoperative UTIs. Furthermore, this association exhib...
This prospective observational study explored the effect of early onset hypoalbuminemia (EOH) on the development of adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) in orthopedic trauma victims....
Serum albumin levels were measured for the initial 7 days of injury for adult trauma patients (18-65 years). Patients were recruited into group A (any serum albumin value < 3.5 mg/dl) and group B (all...
EOH (any serum albumin value < 3.5 g/dl within 7 days of injury) was present in 205/386 (53.1%) patients. The majority of 174/205 (84.9%) patients had EOH by the fourth day after the injury, with the ...
EOH is a frequent occurrence and has a strong influence development of ARDS and 28-day mortality in trauma patients....
At present, the relationship between severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) and albumin infusion is not clear. We aimed to identify the impact of serum albumin on the prognosis of SAP and the association bet...
This was a retrospective cohort study that analyzed 1000 patients with SAP who were admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University between January 2010 and December 2021 using data f...
The prevalence of hypoalbuminemia (≤ 30 g/L) was 56.9% within 1 week after admission. Multivariate logistic regression identified that age (OR: 1.02; 95% CI: 1.00-1.04; P = 0.012), serum urea (OR: 1.0...
Hypoalbuminemia in early-stage SAP is significantly related to poor prognosis. However, albumin infusions could significantly decrease mortality in hypoalbuminemia patients with SAP. Additionally, inf...
Perioperative hypoalbuminemia has a prognostic effect on mortality and morbidity in various cohorts. Patients undergoing open repair of ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms (rAAA) are at a high risk of...
We retrospectively reviewed 143 patients who underwent open rAAA repair between January 2008 and May 2022. The patients were divided into two groups according to the presence of postoperative AKI. The...
Immediate postoperative serum albumin was significantly lower in the AKI group than in the non-AKI group (2.11 ± 0.62 g/dL vs. 2.59 ± 0.62 g/dL, p < 0.001). The incidence of postoperative AKI was sign...
Immediate postoperative hypoalbuminemia was associated with postoperative AKI and mortality in patients with rAAA....
