Hypoalbuminemia is a frequent marker of increased mortality in cardiogenic shock

Abstract: Introduction The prevalence of hypoalbuminemia, early changes of plasma albumin (P-Alb) levels, and their effects on mortality in cardiogenic shock are unknown. Materials and methods P-Alb was measured from serial blood samples in 178 patients from a prospective multinational study on cardiogenic shock. The association of hypoalbuminemia with clinical characteristics and course of hospital stay including treatment and procedures was assessed. The primary outcome was all… Show more

“…Admission serum albumin level has been shown to be correlated with outcomes for general ward patients [ 35 , 36 ], and hospital mortality of critically ill patients [ 37 , 38 , 39 ]. Since we also observed that admission albumin level was associated with secondary clinical outcomes, admission albumin level was then adjusted to assess the association between energy intake and clinical outcomes.…”

“…It is known that low levels of serum albumin, which are common in patients with critical illness, are associated with poor outcomes [94][95][96] . Some evidence indicates that the transcapillary escape rate of albumin increases in tandem with disease severity 97 .…”

“…It is established that albumin has several functions including osmotic pressure regulation and antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects [ 13 , 14 ]. One recent study showed that hypoalbuminemia was a frequent finding early in CS and was associated with mortality independent of other risk factors [ 15 ]. Recently, several studies have combined these two markers and found that the neutrophil percentage-to-albumin ratio (NPAR) could serve as an inflammation-based prognostic predictor in patients with STEMI [ 16 ], acute kidney injury [ 17 ], septic shock [ 18 ], rectal cancer [ 19 ], or palliative pancreatic cancer [ 20 ].…”
