The rate of loss of albumin to the tissue spaces (measured as transcapillary escape rate)
rose by more than 300% in patients with septic shock, and the average increase within 7 h of …

Albumin has a stabilizing effect on endothelium and helps maintain capillary permeability to
macromolecules. Critically ill patients with sepsis may have profound hypoalbuminemia, but …

MATERIALS AND METHODS Eight healthy male volunteers aged 22-28 years, with a mean
body weight of 73 kg, were investigated. Plasma volume expansion was accomplished in …

The daily urinary albumin-excretion rate was measured by a sensitive radioimmunoassay in
eight normal subjects (average blood-pressure 126/83 mm. Hg), fourteen patients effectively …

We investigated further the mechanism whereby albumin interacts with the walls of capillary
blood vessels to maintain normal permeability properties. In individually perfused capillaries …

Human albumin (HA) is the most abundant circulating protein in the plasma of healthy
individuals (3.5-5 g/dL) since it represents approximately 50% of the total protein content …

The transcapillary escape rate of albumin, the fraction of intravascular mass of albumin that
passes to the extravascular space per unit time, was determined from the disappearance of …

Studies investigating fluid volume dynamics and albumin kinetics in patients undergoing
major abdominal surgery indicate that during the operation, marked deficits develop in the …

Autologous plasma may be used to replace plasma volume and plasma proteins during
surgery, but its effectiveness is largely unknown. In the present study, the characteristics of …

The relationship among “negative” plasma acute-phase proteins (APP), ie, albumin,
prealbumin, and transferrin, and “positive” APP, ie, C-reactive protein (CRP), fibrinogen, and …
