Does albumin replacement for a patient after abdominal surgeries, such as small intestine or large intestine anastomoses and resection of tumors from the digestive tract, have a clear benefit in returning peristaltic movement to the intestine earlier?
Albumin, a protein found in blood plasma, plays a crucial role in maintaining fluid balance and transporting various substances. Let’s explore its impact on peristaltic movement in the digestive tract after abdominal surgery.
In essence, albumin levels can serve as an indicator of the body’s response to surgery and may help clinicians anticipate complications in the digestive tract after abdominal procedures.
Since gastric surgery could provoke caloric protein malnutrition, Albumin is expected to be affected.
albumin must be administered only in severe dyscrasic cases, we must provide an organism with calories according to a 60/40 or 70/30 scheme and a quantity of amino acids calibrated for the pathology to be treated. The infused albumin is transported by the bloodstream to the liver which "dismantles" it and then with the amino acids it does what it deems best, also consuming apt and depleting the body of energy
