Article Abstract
Albumin is the most abundant plasma protein, accounting for approximately 50% of total serum protein in healthy individuals. In recent years, albumin has attracted significant attention due to its biocompatibility, non-toxicity (metabolizing in vivo into harmless degradation products), non-immunogenic properties, ease of purification, and water solubility. These characteristics render it an ideal candidate for a wide range of biomedical applications. Its uses include drug delivery systems, wound healing, antioxidant therapies, infusion treatments, COVID-19 therapeutics, tissue engineering, and other critical care domains. Consequently, the global demand for albumin has been steadily increasing. The international albumin market was valued at USD 5394.9 million in 2021 and is projected to reach USD 9192 million by 2030, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.1%. Given its diverse applications and rising demand, substantial efforts have been made to ensure a sustainable supply of albumin. This review provides an overview of albumin, along with its novel applications, purification methods, and market trends.

Association between perioperative prealbumin level and outcomes in coronary bypass surgery patients.
Coron Artery Dis
September 2025
Cardiovascular Institute, Allegheny Health Network, Pittsburgh.
Background: Albumin and BMI have been used as nutritional markers of morbidity and mortality. Recently, prealbumin has grown in interest in other surgical disciplines, but less so in cardiac surgery. Thus, this study examined the association between prealbumin and bleeding, mortality, and readmission in coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) patients.

The uncharted effects of cadmium and cesium on circadian syndrome (CircS), an emerging circadian rhythm disorder drawing considerable attention, and underlying mechanisms warrant exigent elaboration. Data of 11141 subjects from National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2005-2018 were incorporated to investigate separate-, joint-/interaction-, and mixture-effects of urinary cadmium and cesium on prevalent CircS risk exploiting survey weight regression and quantile g-computation. The underlying mechanisms were probed by network toxicological analysis.

Clin Nutr ESPEN
September 2025
Department of Epidemiology, University of Iowa, Iowa City, IA.
Background & Aims: People with multiple sclerosis (MS) may be predisposed to malnutrition as several malnutrition risk factors are common among this group; however, evidence on malnutrition in MS is sparse. Therefore, the aim of the present study is to explore what is known about malnutrition in MS.
Methods: A scoping review was performed in 5 databases (Ovid Medline, Embase, Cochrane Central, Scopus, and the Web of Science Core Collection) in February 2024.
Chronic kidney disease and incident cancer risk: an individual participant data meta-analysis.
Br J Cancer
September 2025
School of Cardiovascular and Metabolic Health, University of Glasgow, Glasgow, UK.
Background: Studies examining the association of chronic kidney disease (CKD) with cancer risk have demonstrated conflicting results.
Methods: This was an individual participant data meta-analysis including 54 international cohorts contributing to the CKD Prognosis Consortium. Included cohorts had data on albuminuria [urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio (ACR)], estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), overall and site-specific cancer incidence, and established risk factors for cancer.
Hypoalbuminemia in heart failure: pathophysiology, clinical implications, and management strategies.
Heart Fail Rev
September 2025
Department of Medicine, Division of Cardiology, University of Texas Medical Branch, Galveston, TX, USA.
Hypoalbuminemia is commonly seen in patients with heart failure and is associated with worse outcomes. Multiple pathophysiologic mechanisms can contribute to low albumin levels in heart failure patients, such as malnutrition, hepatic congestion, inflammation, and protein-losing enteropathy. Hypoalbuminemia can exacerbate heart failure symptoms and contributes to pulmonary edema by reducing plasma oncotic pressure, thereby favoring fluid movement into the interstitial and alveolar spaces.
