By itself, low albumin levels are associated with increased mortality rate in the general population. [8] In disease states specifically, hypoalbuminemia has been used a predictive factor for poor outcomes in a number of conditions, [ 3 ] including periprosthetic joint infection treatment failure, [ 13 ] and cirrhosis .

Low albumin concentration influences negatively the strength of oncotic pressure. Failure leads to fluid buildup in the abdomen, resulting in edema and belly distension. [3] Furthermore, the release of antidiuretic hormone is stimulated by hypovolemia, also leading to the development of peripheral edema.
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.
Protein loss in the urine due to damage of the glomeruli may become massive, and cause a low serum albumin with resulting generalized body swelling (edema) so called nephrotic syndrome. Likewise, the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) may progressively fall from a normal of over 90 ml/min/1.73m 2 to less than 15, at which point the ...
Researchers say low testosterone levels in men can increase mortality risk and very low levels of testosterone can increase the risk of cardiovascular-related death

Studies examining albumin solutions for resuscitation have not shown improved outcomes, while other studies have shown resuscitation with hyper-oncotic starch leads to increased mortality rate and renal failure. [4] Patients in shock can appear cold, clammy, and cyanotic. [4] Hypothermia increases the mortality rate of patients with hypovolemic ...
