Effect of Preoperative Albumin on Post Operative Outcome Following Colorectal Surgeries
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 10
Abstract
Albumin is a blood plasma protein synthesized in the liver. It is the single most abundant protein in plasma and constitutes about 2/3rd of the total protein content. Because it is the main protein in human blood, decreased synthesis or losses result in impaired regulation of intravascular oncotic pressure and manifests as edema. Serum albumin is a good and simple predictor of surgical risk and has a close correlation with the degree of malnutrition.
