Design outcomes
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): - Redox state of albumin (HMA/HNA1/HNA2) - Plasma thiol status - Neurohumoral parameters (PRC, PCC);Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 0h (baseline), 24h, 48h | — |
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of albumin infusion on oxidative albumin modification, on plasma thiol status and on albumin binding capacity for DS in patients who routinely receive albumin infusion for various indications and to relate these findings with neurohumoral parameters. We expect that albumin improves oxidation state of circulating albumin as well as albumin function estimated by DS binding capacity. ;Secondary Objective: not applicable;Primary end point(s): Albumin binding capacity for dansylsarcosine (DS);Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 0h (baseline), 24h, 48h | — |
