Changes in serum prealbumin as a marker for nitrogen balance in surgical oncology patients

2022-05-17

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background: </h4> Serum prealbumin has long been used as a marker of nutritional status. However, prealbumin is a negative acute phase reactant influenced by several non-nutritional-related factors including surgery, infection, and cancer.
