2
Q

Hematocrit (40–50%) decreased → anemia
increased → dehydration

Albumin (3.5–5.5 g/dL) decreased → malnutrition (prolonged protein depletion), malabsorption

Prealbumin (23–43 mg/dL) decreased → protein depletion, malnutrition

Transferrin (240–480 mg/dL) decreased → anemia, protein deficiency

Blood urea nitrogen (17–18 mg/dL) decreased → malnutrition, overhydration
increased → starvation, high protein intake, severe dehydration

Creatinine (0.4–1.5 mg/dL) decreased → reduction in total muscle mass, severe malnutrition
increased → dehydration
