What does serum albumin measure?

A

Protein deficiency and malnutrition - long half-life

25
what does prealbumin measure?
Protein deficiency and malnutrition - short half-life
26
What is 3rd spacing?
Fluids moving from the vascular space to the interstitial space; this is NOT blood moving Generally caused by fluid overload, kidney dysfunction, hyponatremia, heart failure (increased capillary hydrostatic pressure)

Protein metabolism and kidney function
28
What does a higher BUN indicate?
