Serum albumin concentration was measured in 195 infants of 25 to 42 weeks' gestation during the neonatal period. Concentrations were significantly lower in preterm infants, rising from a mean of 19 g/l at 26 weeks to 31 g/l at term. There was a 15% increase in albumin concentrations in the first three weeks of life. Oedema in the early and late neonatal period was common in preterm infants but correlated poorly with hypoalbuminaemia. Measurement of serum albumin concentrations in preterm infants either routinely or because of oedema is not clinically useful.
在新生儿期对195名孕周为25至42周的婴儿测量了血清白蛋白浓度。早产儿的血清白蛋白浓度显著较低,从26周时的平均19 g/l升至足月时的31 g/l。出生后的前三周白蛋白浓度增加了15%。早产婴儿在新生儿早期和晚期出现水肿很常见,但与低白蛋白血症的相关性较差。常规测量或因水肿测量早产儿的血清白蛋白浓度在临床上并无用处。
