liver functionnon-oncotic functionbiomarkerAlbumin is the most abundant plasma protein and albumin infusion is commonly used. Conventionally, the biologic and therapeutic effects of albumin have been thought to be due to its oncotic properties. However, albumin has a variety of biologic functions, ...
Albumin (66 kDa) concentration (mean 卤 SEM) in IF relative to plasma as a function of timeChrister, SvedmanBing, B YuTerence, J RyanHenry, Svensson
The meaning of ALBUMIN is any of numerous simple heat-coagulable water-soluble proteins that occur in blood plasma or serum, muscle, the whites of eggs, milk, and other animal substances and in many plant tissues and fluids.
Parameters characterizing the processes of association, transport, and dissociation of fatty acid molecules on the corresponding binding sites of plasma albumin in patients with atherosclerosis and diabetes mellitus were studied by electron paramagnetic resonance method. In these patients transport function of...
Hypotension during KRT limits fluid removal, prolongs the duration of fluid overload, and is a risk factor for non-recovery of renal function. HAS has been used to promote plasma refilling and to prevent intradialytic hypotension. In a ra...
Albumin is by far the most plentiful protein in plasma, presenting a long circulatory half-life that results from the direct interaction with FcRn, as previously mentioned (Merlot et al., 2014). As an endogenous molecule, albumin is well-known for its lack of toxicity and antigenicity, and ...
This study was designed to measure the effective concentration of plasma albumin in the interstitial space of human dermis. Discs of tissue taken postmortem from four donors have been separately (1) analyzed for their content of plasma albumin and (2) equilibrated with 125I-labeled monomeric plasma...
While the primary function of albumin is plasma expansion, it is also a carrier for fatty acids [44]. Albumin has 6–7 fatty acid binding sites for long-chain fatty acids [45] with affinities in the nanomolar dissociation constant range [46]. The high affinity for the fatty acid binding ...
Approach to Jaundice and Abnormal Liver Function Test Results Shahid Habib, Obaid S. Shaikh, in Zakim and Boyer's Hepatology (Seventh Edition), 2018 Albumin Human albumin is a 67-kDa globular protein that is the principal component of circulating plasma proteins, constituting 50% of the total ...
Succinylated gelatin (Gelofusine, Gelo), a plasma expander that consists of a mixture of collagen-derived peptides, has also been shown to efficiently reduce the renal reabsorption of various radiolabelled peptides in animals, and of 111In-octreotide in humans [1, 21–23]. Nevertheless, more...
