protein- energy malnutrition, wasting and inflammation are frequent complication among patients with end-stage renal disease (esrd). malnutrition is associated with cardiac co-morbidity, inflammation and poor survival in esrd patients. serum albumin is a well-known marker of nutrition in esrd patients. serum albumin is still the most commonly used nutritional marker in esrd patients. c-reactive...

Human serum albumin has been used as a model protein for protein folding and ligand binding studies over many decades. Due to its long life period and high concentration in plasma, HSA is highly sensitive to glycation. It is reported that 175 mg/dL glucose concentration is a threshold of kidney activity for the beginning of excretion of glucose. pH denaturation of HSA in absence and presence of...

background : since albumin imposes a relatively high cost to a healthcare system, drug use evaluation for this drug is much more important. this study wants to evaluate pattern of albumin use in a large university affiliated hospital in tehran, iran. methods : a concurrent, cross-sectional study was performed in “shaheed rajaei” cardiovascular, medical and research center. all inpatient adults ...

Background: Albumin is known as a human blood product, with high cost and limited availability. Several studies have demonstrated the extent in which albumin is being utilized in controversial indications not supported or weakly supported by the available literature. Objective: To rationalize the use of albumin and to decrease the inappropriate cost of this expensive drug. Methods: A two phase...

Magnetic polymer particles which were modified by vinyl groups and subjected topolymerization by vinyl β-Cyclodextrin derivative, has been used as adsorbent for sorption andrelease of bovine serum albumin and the equilibrium and kinetics of the adsorption process werestudied. The absorbability and releasing of this protein through the new polymer has beenmeasured by ultraviolet-visible spectros...

background: inflammatory process has a substantial contribution in the development of anemia in chronic hemodialysis patients. low serum albumin in hemodialysis patients is considered a marker of inflammation. the present longitudinal study aimed to determine the relationship between low baseline serum albumin and future development of anemia. methods: the population of this study consisted of ...
