Human Albumin in Cirrhosis
#GastroAGI #Hepatology #Cirrhosis #Albumin #LiverDisease #HRS #Ascites #SBP
New research has identified #albumin — the most abundant protein in human blood — as a powerful natural defense against #mucormycosis, a rare but often deadly fungal infection. 🧫

A fungal infection is aided by low levels of albumin protein in the blood. Pikoulas et al.2 report that albumin levels affect the risk of developing a fungal infection called mucormycosis. a, Mucorales fungi can infect human nasal passages and lungs. The spores of these fungi can germinate, form long filaments and bind to the epithelial cells lining the surface of the organs13. If lipid molecules called free fatty acids (FFAs) that have not undergone the process of oxidation are taken up by Mucorales fungi, this hinders the ability of the fungi to express genes that are needed for virulence and to synthesize toxin proteins. The protein albumin, which is found in the bloodstream, binds and transports FFAs, protecting FFAs from oxidation. b, If a person has lower-than-normal levels of albumin, the unbound FFAs in their bloodstream are susceptible to oxidation, which decreases their uptake by Mucorales fungi. The fungi can then make and release a toxin protein called mucoricin, which can kill immune cells and epithelial cells, aiding fungal germination and invasion of human tissues and the bloodstream.

Albumin: Normal Range, Functions & Clinical Significance
#Albumin #LabValues #liverhealth #VikaasShandily
The fetishization of #albumin is perpetuated by persistent misconceptions & entrenched beliefs among both nurses & physicians
A new graduate nurse (still working under supervision and alongside a preceptor) just asked me if I want to give albumin to his pt who is still on norepi
Artikel mit Hanfblättern als Bild Welche Nährstoffe und Mineralstoffe bieten Lebensmittel aus Hanf? Lebensmittel aus Hanf bieten eine Menge an wertvollen Nährstoffen und Mineralstoffen für den Körper. Dabei profitieren vor allem Vegetarier und Veganer von dem großen Mix aus verschiedenen Vitalstoffen. Die Pflanze liefert dem Körper eine Menge Antioxidantien, die dafür verantwortlich sind freie Radikale durch Umweltgifte oder Medikamente zu binden und aufzulösen. Ebenso besitzt er einen sehr hohen Gehalt an Omega-3-, Omega-6- und Omega-9-Fettsäuren. Auch alle neun essentiellen Aminosäuren für den Menschen lassen sich in den Lebensmitteln aus Hanf finden. Diese Aminosäuren können durch körpereigene Stoffe nicht hergestellt werden, so dass die Ernährung mit Hanflebensmitteln durchaus sinnvoll sein kann, um dem Körper alle wichtigen Aminosäuren zu zuführen.

Both groups (placebo vs. #albumin treatment) are monitored closely regarding their liver disease & overall health. We thank the dedicated teams at all sites across Europe for their hard work in achieving this milestone. We look forward to continuing this progress toward completing the ALB-TRIAL! 💪
The ALB-TRIAL is a double-blinded, placebo-controlled clinical trial to see if a new biomarker can be used to predict which patients with #cirrhosis + #ascites benefit most from long-term human #albumin infusion. Moving towards personalised treatment, less complications & lower risk of death. 🔬⚕️🩺
👏 ALB-TRIAL hits 50% enrollment 🎉
Half of the planned 240 patients have now been recruited across 14 centres in 7 countries - great progress for the MICROB-PREDICT project!
Huge thanks to all site teams - Onward to full enrollment & better treatment for #cirrhosis patients with #ascites!

A comparison of two photos of Candida albicans shows that a denser biofilm is formed in the presence of human albumin (right) than in its absence (left). In the photos, the yeast cells were colored in a golden hue.
💡 New infection strategy in #Candida albicans discovered: human #albumin reprograms its metabolism, turning harmless strains pathogenic – without the need of hyphae or toxins. #LeibnizHKI

Pathophysiological basis of #ACLF triggered by #alcohol-related #hepatitis or #infection using circulating biomarkers of #inflammation, circulatory dysfunction & #albumin modifications
"Real-world experience with long-term albumin in patients with cirrhosis and asscites" was a fascinating session. @Enrico Pompili (Bologna University) discussed long-term #albumin therapy in #cirrhosis with #ascites.
Don't miss the Poster SAT-145-YI on Saturday!
#ClinicalInsights #EASL2025
Biomarkers like #Creatinine #eGFR #Albumin and other CAN tell you if you may have chronic kidney disease... long before you notice symptoms.
Better safe than sorry. Check the above next time you have blood tests. Don't rely on your doctor to tell you either, because mine did not.
