22
Q

The fraction that migrates in a position faster than albumin towards the anode

A

Pre albumin

23
Q

Characteristics of prealbumin:

A
Tetramere structure - MW 62,000 Da
2nd most predominant protein in CSF
One of the smaller serum proteins
Rich in tryptophan
Beta pleated sheet conformation
Short half life - 2 days
24
Q

Functions of prealbumin:

A

Carrier protein for thyroxine - thyroxine binding prealbumin (TBPA) or transthyretin (TTR)

Significant role in vitamin A metabolism - it holds the rretinol binding protein (RBP) in the plasma to prevent it from rapid removal from the circulation by filtration through the kidneys

25
Q

Portion of prealbumin is the source of beta fibrillar amyloid component in ____________________

A

Type 1 familial amyloidotic polyneuropathy

26
Q

Synthetic rate of prealbumin is sensitive to:

A

Adequate nutrition

Alterations in hepatic function

27
Q

Better early indicator of change in nutritional status and an important factor for planning patient management

A

Prealbumin

Low levels is associated with greater risks of mortality and hospitalization

28
Q

True prealbumin is best quantified by:

A

Nephelometry

29
Q

A protein band frequently appears in the prealbumin postion in pts with:

A

Heparin therapy

30
Q

Absence of albumin:

A

Analbuminemia

31
Q

Presence of 2 bands in the albumin region:

A

Bisalbuminemia

32
Q

Decrease level of albumin, typical of nephritic syndrome

A

Hypoalbuminemia

33
Q

Characteristics of albumin:

A

Most abundant protein in normal plasma
Serves as mobile repository of amino acids
General transport or carrier protein
Consists of 585 AA

34

A

Peripheral edema

35
Q

Has regions of homology with serum albumin

A

Alpha fetoprotein
