  2. Hypoalbuminemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypoalbuminemia

    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]

  3. Human serum albumin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_serum_albumin

    Hypoalbuminemia means low blood albumin levels. [13] This can be caused by: Liver disease; cirrhosis of the liver is most common; Excess excretion by the kidneys (as in nephrotic syndrome) Excess loss in bowel (protein-losing enteropathy, e.g., Ménétrier's disease) Burns (plasma loss in the absence of skin barrier)

  4. Liver function tests - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liver_function_tests

    Albumin levels are decreased in chronic liver disease, such as cirrhosis. It is also decreased in nephrotic syndrome, where it is lost through the urine. The consequence of low albumin can be edema since the intravascular oncotic pressure becomes lower than the extravascular space. An alternative to albumin measurement is prealbumin, which is ...

  5. Plasma protein binding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasma_protein_binding

    Since albumin is alkalotic, acidic and neutral drugs will primarily bind to albumin. If albumin becomes saturated, then these drugs will bind to lipoprotein. Basic drugs will bind to the acidic alpha-1 acid glycoprotein. This is significant because various medical conditions may affect the levels of albumin, alpha-1 acid glycoprotein, and ...

  6. Albumin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albumin

    The 3D structure of human serum albumin has been determined by X-ray crystallography to a resolution of 2.5 ångströms (250 pm). [1] Albumin is a 65–70 kDa protein. Albumin comprises three homologous domains that assemble to form a heart-shaped protein. [2] Each domain is a product of two subdomains that possess common structural motifs. [2]

  7. Serum albumin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serum_albumin

    Serum albumin, often referred to simply as blood albumin, is an albumin (a type of globular protein) found in vertebrate blood. Human serum albumin is encoded by the ALB gene . [ 2 ] [ 3 ] [ 4 ] Other mammalian forms, such as bovine serum albumin , are chemically similar.

    It's hard to quantify, but here's a good rule of thumb: “Any physical activity that elevates your heart rate and makes your breathing harder such that you can still talk, ...

  9. Serum total protein - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serum_total_protein

    Serum total protein, also known as total protein, is a clinical chemistry parameter representing the concentration of protein in serum. [1] Serum contains many proteins including serum albumin, a variety of globulins, and many others. While it is possible to analyze these proteins individually, total protein is a relatively quick and ...
