Active clinical trials for "Hypoalbuminemia"

This study is a prospective open label clinical trial comparing serum albumin levels and total protein intake in the peritoneal dialysis patient population. A total of 60 patients were enrolled, 16 chose to be in the natural food group and 44 in the supplement group. 4 were lost to follow-up in the supplement group leading to an n of 40. Both groups were educated by dietitians on how to increase their protein intake to a goal of 1.4g/kg/day. The groups were followed for 3 months with protein intake calculated according to the patient's food diaries. Patient demographics and characteristics were compared in both groups.

Aim of this study is to reduce postoperative complications (assessed by POMS-Score and graded by Clavien-Dindo-Score) by substitution of perioperative hypoalbuminaemia in high-risk patients or patients undergoing high risk surgery.

Prospective pilot study to determine if changing the phosphate binder to sucroferric oxyhydroxide for for 6 months improves disordered mineral metabolism and nutrition status in peritoneal dialysis patients.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether 5% human albumin solution, given to correct hypoalbuminemia, could improve organ dysfunction in burn patients as assessed by a change in the SOFA score from baseline to day 7 (or before if the patient is discharged from the ICU or died).

The researchers will recruit patients with liver disease at Parkland Hospital. Patients will fast overnight, and the next morning will receive an oral mixture of [U-13C3]glycerol (25 mg/kg) plus unlabeled glycerol (25 mg/kg). The total dose of glycerol will be 50 mg/kg in 100 milliliters of water. The taste is slightly sweet. Blood will be drawn at 60 min and 120 min after the ingestion. Blood glucose will be isolated and analyzed by NMR. The presence of [5,6-13C2]- and [4,5-13C2]glucose indicates preserved mitochondrial function. The researchers anticipate that patients with severe liver disease will show a decrease in mitochondrial function and will inform biosynthetic function of liver mitochondria. After the first 6 successful exams (see power analysis, below), healthy volunteers (age-, gender-, and race-matched) will be studied at the AIRC and subject to the same protocol.

The purpose of this study is to investigate potential mechanisms of valproic acid-associated low serum albumin in medically fragile pediatric and young adult epileptic patients of a long-term care facility.

The DAXOR Corporation manufactures and distributes a blood volume analyzer. The analysis is based on the tracer dilution principle utilizing radioiodine labeled human serum albumin. In addition to calculating human blood volume it is hypothesized that measurement of the dilution of the tracer can also yield an accurate measurement of total body albumin.

Coronary artery disease is a common medical disease in many populations. The pathogenesis of this disease is very complex. Surgery is one of the treatment choices. Assessing the risk factors will improve the surgical outcome. In this study some biochemical parameters were evaluated to find out the relationship between these parameters (electrolytes and albumin vs)
