“…The main function of albumin are to retain oncotic pressure within the vascular system and transport of hormones, lipids and drugs [16]. Serum albumin has a half-life of approximately 20 days and it is not a good indicator of early liver disease as its level is usually normal [17]. However, albumin levels are significantly reduced in chronic active hepatitis and cirrhosis.…”

“…The median level of albumin and hemoglobin decreased by more than 5g/L and 10 g/L in non-COVID-19 patients, respectively (albumin: 33.8 g / L vs. 38.95 g / L, p<0.001; hemoglobin: 121 g / L vs. 135.25 g / L, p=0.003). Hypoalbuminemia is frequently observed in conditions like diabetes, hypertension, and chronic heart failure 14 . In summary, these findings demonstrated that most patients with COVID-19 pneumonia produce less dysfunction and toxicity.…”

“…Kidney diseases, in most cases, are related to multifactorial pathologies such as diabetes and hypertension, as well as immune-mediated conditions. Tests that measure kidney function permit recognition of the damage, monitoring its progression and response to treatment [ 2 ]. Kidney biopsy represents a specific diagnostic tool, but it is an invasive and hardily iterative technique, especially in specific patient subgroups, such as children and older people.…”
