| Abstract:Objective: To analyze the characteristics and management strategies of hypoalbuminemia in elderly hospitalized patients. Methods: A total of 140 elderly patients with hypoalbuminemia were enrolled. The relationship between albumin levels and inflammatory factors, albumin levels before and after treatment, and the impact factors of survival group and death group were compared. Results: Albumin levels were negatively correlated with erythrocyte sedimentation rate (r=-0.228, P<0.05), C-reactive protein (r=-0.339, P<0.05), and fibrinogen (r=-0.235, P<0.05). Patients of death group had lower albumin levels.With nutritional support or intravenous albumin, there was no significant increase in albumin levels in patients. Conclusions: The incidence of hypoalbuminemia in elderly patients is high. The first aim is to control the primary disease, and not to supplement albumin. It is necessary to apply albumin strictly and rationally. |
