Relative contributions of inflammation and inadequate protein intake to hypoalbuminemia in patients on maintenance hemodialysis
2013
Purpose
Serum albumin is one of the strongest mortality predictors in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients. Yet, the degree to which serum albumin represents dietary protein intake or an inflammatory state, among others, is not clear. We hypothesize that these inadequate protein intake and inflammation contribute somewhat equally to hypoalbuminemia.
