Albumin is an acute negative phase respondent and not a reliable indicator of nutrition status. [10] Low albumin levels can also indicate chronic malnutrition from protein losing enteropathy. [3] This is often caused or exacerbated by ulcerative colitis, [11] but can also be seen in cardiac disease and systemic lupus erythematosus. [3]
A ratio of 1.2 is commonly used, such that a value <1.2 indicates the absence of a lupus anticoagulant, while a value >1.2 indicates the presence of a lupus anticoagulant. [19] Direct oral anticoagulants and vitamin K antagonists used to treat thrombosis can interfere with lupus anticoagulant assays and generate either false-positive or false ...
Nephrotic syndrome is a collection of symptoms due to kidney damage. This includes protein in the urine, low blood albumin levels, high blood lipids, and significant swelling.
Concentrations below the reference range usually reflect low albumin concentration, for instance in liver disease or acute infection. Rarely, low total protein may be a sign of immunodeficiency. Concentrations above the reference range are found in paraproteinaemia, Hodgkin's lymphoma, leukaemia or any condition causing an increase in ...

Low platelet count (thrombocytopenia) and low white blood cell count may be due to the disease or a side effect of pharmacological treatment. People with SLE may have an association with antiphospholipid antibody syndrome [ 26 ] (a thrombotic disorder), wherein autoantibodies to phospholipids are present in their serum.
Hypoproteinemia is a condition where there is an abnormally low level of protein in the blood. There are several causes that all result in edema once serum protein levels fall below a certain threshold.
