2017, American Journal of MedicineCitation Excerpt :De novo hypoalbuminemia and worsening of existing hypoalbuminemia are also common.4 Low albumin levels have been associated with morbidity and mortality in various populations, including patients with acute myocardial infarction,5 heart failure,6 stroke,7-9 renal disease,10,11 hip fracture,12 and malignancies.13-16 Vincent et al.17 identified low albumin as a dose-dependent and independent predictor of a poor outcome in patients with acute illness.
