The nitrogen content of serum proteins is on average of approximately ___%:

Site of protein synthesis within the cell:

aka transthyretin; negative acute phase reactant; marker for poor nutritional status:

Present in highest concentration in serum; represents 2/3 of total protein; provide nearly 80% of colloid osmotic pressure of intravascular fluid; increases only in DEHYDRATION:

how many percent of total calcium binds to albumin?

What is the common manifestation of hypoalbuminemia:

Albumin increases only in:

Inhibits elastase; causes emphysema in this protein is deficient:

Produced by fetal liver; elevation of this protein is associated in neural tube defect/presence of twins:
