All of the above:
- Laboratory tests as albumin and creatinine.

In hospitalized patients, serum proteins are involved in the acute phase response and could be considered as inflammatory parameters that reflect disease activity. That’s why some of them should not be considered as nutritional indicators by themselves, but could be involved in the nutritional assessment and as part of the follow-up in nutritional interventions. This assertion is considered as:
True
