“…To address the problem of decreased protein intake as one of the causes of hypoalbuminemia, there probably is need to recognize negative nitrogen balance before frank hypoalbuminemia develops. While serum pre-albumin might appear attractive in this regard, in one retrospective study pre-albumin was not shown to predict future albumin levels, hospitalization, or mortality in PD subjects [14]. In another prospective study, a trend towards higher mortality (odds ratio 3.8; p = 0.09) was found in a small group of continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) subjects with serum pre-albumin <30 mg/dl [15].…”

“…Pre-albumin is excreted through the kidney and transferrin is closely related to iron metabolism. Neither of these has been studied as thoroughly as albumin in CKD and ESRD patients [57][58][59] and further, it is expensive in some countries to check them regularly.…”

“…In man TTR serum levels fall due to decreased synthesis in inflammation and stress [13]. Human serum levels of TTR have been measured for hospital patients as an indicator of health status [4,11,22] and a number of commercial assays are available for this purpose. However, whether transthyretin is indeed a negative acute phase reactant has yet to be established for the pig.…”
