Hypoalbuminemia

Hypoalbuminemia is a clinical state and laboratory finding defined by abnormally low circulating levels of serum albumin, typically below 3.5 g/dL, affecting the cardiovascular and extracellular fluid compartments

Hypoalbuminemia is a clinical state and laboratory finding defined by abnormally low circulating levels of serum albumin, typically below 3.5 g/dL, affecting the cardiovascular and extracellular fluid compartments Pathophysiologically, the reduction in serum albumin diminishes intravascular colloid oncotic pressure and alters vascular permeability, predisposing patients to interstitial fluid extravasation, peripheral edema, ascites, and impaired transport of endogenous molecules and drugs

It most frequently arises from systemic inflammation, critical illness, severe hepatic dysfunction leading to decreased synthesis, or excessive protein wasting via nephrotic syndrome, protein-losing enteropathy, or extensive burns Pathophysiologically, the reduction in serum albumin diminishes intravascular colloid oncotic pressure and alters vascular permeability, predisposing patients to interstitial fluid extravasation, peripheral edema, ascites, and impaired transport of endogenous molecules...
