Possible Interaction: Albumin and Calcium Supplement

“These data, demonstrating that albumin and calcium act synergistically in the host environment to increase production and release of ACT, strongly suggest that this phenomenon reflects a novel host-pathogen interaction that is central to infection with B. pertussis and other Bordetella species.”

“We have found that albumin , in the presence of physiological concentrations of calcium , acts specifically to enhance the amount of ACT and its localization to the supernatant.”

“Significantly reduced Co(2+) binding to albumin , as demonstrated by an increase in the absorption of the Co-dithiothreitol adduct, elicited by adding ca.”

“In the univariate analysis, albumin was significantly correlated with the baseline calcium score.”

“In addition Ca increased by 0.017 mmol/L per g/L increase of albumin (p < 0.0001).”

“A positive relationship was found for calcium and albumin.”

“Abstract Measurement of ionized calcium CaI ) has been reported to be dependent on albumin concentration.”

“In 17,281 outpatients and 16,194 inpatients, significantly positive correlations were found between CaI and albumin , with changes in CaI per 10 g/L change in albumin ranging from 0.007–0.043 mmol/L and 0.017–0.028 mmol/L, respectively.”

“Conclusions Calcium and the ratio of calcium with albumin , its major binding protein, were strongly associated with all-cause mortality among patients with coronary heart disease.”

“ Ca is strongly bound to proteins especially albumin , so that total serum Ca values are sometimes misleading, necessitating the use of corrected or ionized Ca.”

“Increasing the concentration of albumin , designed to mimic the presence of protein in urine, significantly decreased the mass of both calcium and magnesium encrustation until a plateau was observed.”

“The albumin correction concept creates a problem because the binding affinity of albumin for calcium has a considerable intraindividual variation.”
