Description

—Objectives— In the present study, we examined the relevance between serum albumin and age, to clarify the validity of serum albumin evaluation by age in acute period hospitals.<br>—Materials and Methods— For 1240 cases (745 cases at the time of discharge) that measured serum albumin at the time of hospitalization, we classified serum albumin 3.5g/dL in a standard, and we weighed a case about average age, average hospitalization period and the death rate. And we compared a change of the serum albumin at the time of discharge with serum albumin at the time of hospitalization.<br>—Results— Average age, average hospitalization period and the death rate of a nutritional risk group (serum albumin<3.5g/dL) were higher in comparison with cases not significantly affected by a no nutritional risk group (3.5g/dL≤serum albumin). The serum albumin at the time of discharge fell over 40'S significantly from serum albumin at the time of hospitalization.<br>—Conclusion— It is necessary, serum albumin is under 3.5g/dL and elderly patients during hospitalization from early stages of hospitalization. But, over 40'S, it is necessary for a rise of the serum albumin to consider that there is a difficult case in a short term even if we perform appropriate nutritional treatment.
