Prealbumin, mortality, and cause-specific hospitalization in hemodialysis patients.
Kidney Int. 2005; (6): 2794-800
Prealbumin (transthyretin) is a hepatic secretory protein thought to be important in the evaluation of nutritional deficiency and nutrition support. Prior studies have suggested that the serum prealbumin concentration is independently associated with mortality in hemodialysis patients, even with adjustment for serum albumin and other nutritional parameters.
