Hypoalbuminemia has been associated with poor outcome in critically ill population including sepsis and COVID-19. The observational study by Su et al showed a favorable albumin kinetics, with an initial downwards trend followed by recovery back to the predicted albumin levels, in survivors of COVID-19 and sepsis-induced acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). However, nonsurvivors in COVID-19 group did not have an upwards recovery slope, while those in sepsis group did not follow any sort of albumin kinetics. Thus, authors concluded that the pattern of albumin kinetics may be predictive of outcome in COVID-19 and sepsis-induced ARDS. Here, we would like to highlight a few more points in this letter.
低白蛋白血症与包括脓毒症和新冠肺炎在内的危重症人群的不良预后相关。Su等人的观察性研究表明,在新冠肺炎和脓毒症诱发的急性呼吸窘迫综合征(ARDS)幸存者中,白蛋白动力学良好,最初呈下降趋势,随后恢复到预测的白蛋白水平。然而,新冠肺炎组的非幸存者没有向上的恢复斜率,而脓毒症组的患者则没有遵循任何白蛋白动力学模式。因此,作者得出结论,白蛋白动力学模式可能预测新冠肺炎和脓毒症诱发的ARDS的预后。在此,我们想在这封信中再强调几点。
