Postoperative albumin drop was associated with complications after abdominal surgery; hypothesis-generating for its role as early stress marker.
Does postoperative albumin drop correlate with surgical stress and adverse clinical outcomes in patients undergoing abdominal procedures?
Early postoperative albumin drop reflects the magnitude of surgical trauma and correlates with adverse clinical outcomes, suggesting its potential as an early marker for stress response.
