Role of hypoalbuminemia and hypocholesterolemia as copredictors of mortality in acute renal failure

Role of hypoalbuminemia and hypocholesterolemia as co-predictors of mortality in acute renal failure.BackgroundHypoalbuminemia (LA) and hypocholesterolemia (LC) have been reported to portend high mortality in both older patients and in patients with end-stage renal disease. Even though low levels have been reported in critically ill patients, they have not been clearly defined as predictors of mortality in acute renal failure (ARF). The impact of LA and LC on mortality in ARF is evaluated in this study.
