title: [Serum albumin in systemic inflammatory reaction syndrome].
abstract: A group of patients with pyoinflammatory surgical disease, which showed a strong correlation between the serum concentration of albumin and the number of signs of a systemic inflammatory reaction (SIR), was examined. It was found that the more number of such signs the patient had, the less blood concentration of albumin was: the linear correlation coefficient averaged -0.78 (p < 0.01) in the group. In the natural development of the disease, the larger number of signs of SIR (negative changes) is followed by decreased albumin concentrations and their reduction (positive changes) leads to an increase and even complete restoration of albumin concentrations. With a fatal outcome, there is a much greater drop in the serum concentration of albumin, which is inconsistent with the magnitude of criteria of SIR. The possible reasons for a reduction in blood albumin concentration and for ineffective correction of hypoalbuminemia in sepsis are discussed.
