Disease relevance of Hypoalbuminemia

 

Psychiatry related information on Hypoalbuminemia

 

High impact information on Hypoalbuminemia

  • We have recently identified a unique group of patients whose clinical presentations are characterized by autosomal recessive inheritance, early age of onset, FRDA-like clinical presentations and hypoalbuminemia [7].
  • The hypoalbuminemia in tumor-bearing animals could not be prevented by daily injections of a prostaglandin synthesis inhibitor (indomethacin, 1 microgram/g body wt), but the hepatic acute phase protein serum amyloid P decreased from 157 +/- 12 to 103 +/- 9 micrograms/mL in indomethacin-treated tumor-bearing mice (P less than 0.01) [8].
  • In this study, the alpha 1-antitrypsin concentration in stool and the plasma clearance of alpha 1-antitrypsin in normal subjects and in a consecutive series of patients with chronic diarrhea, malabsorption, or unexplained hypoalbuminemia was determined [9].
  • This effect was, however, associated with a decreased release of arachidonic acid in the presence of hypoalbuminemia, such that the overall conversion of released 14C-arachidonic acid to platelet thromboxane B2 was similar in the presence of physiologic albumin concentration (3.5 g/dl) or at decreased albumin concentrations of 0.7 and 0.0 g/dl [10].
  • Hypoalbuminemia enhanced the conversion of released 14C-arachidonic acid from prelabeled platelet phospholipids to the metabolites of the platelet cyclooxygenase and lipoxygenase pathways [10].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of Hypoalbuminemia

  • In patients with abnormal total bilirubin (i.e., greater than 1.5 mg/dl) or with hypoalbuminemia (i.e., less than 3.3 g/dl), the model was both precise and unbiased [11].
  • Creatinine clearance was normal in all cases. p-Aminohippurate clearance was decreased in two patients who had hypoalbuminemia [12].
  • Estrogen replacement during hypoalbuminemia may enhance atherosclerotic risk [13].
  • She had minimal renal insufficiency and hypoalbuminemia prior to initiation of methotrexate therapy, and had received a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug concurrently [14].
  • Consistent with the physiologic hypoalbuminemia of pregnancy, serum albumin concentrations averaged only 3.2 +/- 0.3 gm/dl (+/- SD) in pregnant subjects, compared with 4.4 +/- 0.3 gm/dl in control subjects (p less than 1 x 10(-6], and this was the main cause of decreased theophylline binding [15].
 

Biological context of Hypoalbuminemia

 

Anatomical context of Hypoalbuminemia

 

Gene context of Hypoalbuminemia

  • Evaluation of the acute phase response by measurement of CRP is advisable in the evaluation of hypoalbuminemia or other stigmata of malnutrition in dialysis patients [26].
  • The MMP-3 levels were significantly higher in SLE patients who had a history of the following abnormalities: persistent proteinuria, cellular casts, anti-double stranded DNA antibodies, decreased C3, decreased creatinine clearance (p < 0.001), circulating immune complex (p < 0.01), malar rash, hypoalbuminemia, or decreased C4 (p < 0.05) [27].
  • In contrast, despite extreme hypoalbuminemia, NAR showed normal FENa, increased urinary NOx excretion and upregulations of iNOS and nNOS protein abundance in the kidney [28].
  • Somatostatin and growth hormone inhibited inflammatory mediators and TNF alpha mRNA overexpressions, reduced the risk of MODS, corrected hypoalbuminemia, reversed negative nitrogen balance, and controlled the reduction of cell groups with functions and reasonably intervened SIRS caused by ANP [29].
  • Serum alpha 2-macroglobulin and alpha 1-inhibitor 3 concentrations are increased in hypoalbuminemia by post-transcriptional mechanisms [30].
