Aims: Hypoalbuminaemia has significance in adult critical illness as an independent
predictor of mortality. In addition, the anion gap is predominantly due to the negative charge …

Objective To evaluate whether hypoalbuminemia on admission is a predictor of adverse
outcome in critically ill children. Design Retrospective medical record review. Setting A 14 …

Background: Hypoalbuminaemia at admission is a common finding in patients admitted to
the Paediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) and it is thought that this may predict morbidity and …

Aims: The aim was to study frequency of hypoalbuminemia and examine association
between hypoalbuminemia and outcome in critically ill-children. Settings and Design …

Objectives: Serum albumin is a strong biomarker of disease severity and prognosis in adult
patients. In contrast, its value as predictor of outcome in critically ill children has not been …

Background: It is believed that hypoalbuminaemia confounds interpretation of the anion gap
(AG) unless corrected for serum albumin in critically ill children with shock. Aim: To compare …

Abstract Purpose of Review Albumin plays a critical role in a wide range of disease
processes; however, the role of albumin in pediatric patients has not been well described …

An accurate method to predict the mortality in the intensive care unit (ICU) patients has been
required, especially in children. The aim of this study is to evaluate the value of serum anion …

Background. Albumin is a determinant of plasma colloid oncotic pressure and buffering
capacity. It is a carrier protein for drugs and is important for normal functioning of the …
