ABSTRACT

The value of pre-albumin is considered a gold standard to diagnose, classify, analyze and monitor the nutritional status of the admitted patient. This functional protein serves the purpose of making an early diagnosis and, together with other serum and urinary biochemical indicators such as C-reactive protein (CRP), albumin, total lymphocyte counts, and 24-hour urine urea nitrogen, allows the presence of acute or chronic inflammation, which helps to define more precise nutritional diagnoses, as well as to evaluate the response to a therapeutic intervention. The measurement of prealbumin serially in the undernourished patient will allow the elaboration of future strategies for the diagnosis and monitoring of malnutrition, the definition of a tool for actions, and a better exploitation of the diagnostic means.
