Serum prealbümin konsantrasyonları albümin, kalsiyum, magnezyum ve fosfor düzeyleri ile ilişkili olabilir mi?

Abstract

Aims: Prealbumin is a specific and famous marker of nutritional conditions. The aim of our study was to investigate the relationship between serum prealbumin concentrations and serum albumin, magnesium, phosphorus and calcium levels.
 
 Methods: A total of 200 patients, 100 male and 100 female, aged 18-65 years, who applied to the Etlik City Hospital Internal Diseases Polyclinic between January 2023 and June 2023, were included in our study. The patients' prealbumin, albumin, calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), phosphorus (P), creatinine, low-density lipoprotein (LDL), high-density lipoprotein (HDL), and complete blood count parameters (hemoglobin, white blood cell (WBC), platelet (PLT)) results were evaluated.
 
 Results: The median prealbumin of female subjects was 0.50 (0.1-1.0), while the median prealbumin of male subjects was 0.40 (0.1-1.0). There was no statistically significant difference between the groups (p>0.05). There is a direct positive between prealbumin concentration and calcium (r: 0.75; p
