There are some healthy humans who are #analbuminaemic (essentiallytotal lack of albumin). They have less than 1g/l albumin in their circulation Crit Care. 2000; 4(3): 151–155. https://t.co/5RZ9EFXCwD

#hypoalbuminaemia may result from the following: transcapillary leak;decreased synthesis; large volume body fluid losses; and dilution due to fluid resuscitation. Crit Care. 2000; 4(3): 151–155. https://t.co/5RZ9EFXCwD
