Conclusion and relevanceIn the studied population sample of patients with IBD, a positive correlation between the concentration of adalimumab and prealbumin was observed. To our knowledge this is the first study to find this association, and as prealbumin is a protein with a smaller half-life than albumin, it could be used as a predictive biomarker of adalimumab clearance modification.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
