The Association of Diastolic Dysfunction in Patients with Hypoalbuminemia
Dr Santhosh Kumar K, Dr N Swaminathan N
Abstract: Serum albumin is the most abundant serum protein that is responsible for maintaining the colloid osmotic pressure that counteracts the hydrostatic pressure in the body. As an acute phase reactant, serum albumin levels are decreased in acute and chronic illness. Low serum albumin level was associated with myocardial stiffening and fibrosis that can lead to diastolic dysfunction.
