Rather than, or in addition to, GI losses, his reduced serum albumin is more likely due to his chronic inflammation secondary to PAN and any other chronic comorbidities.Landonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13817785956736425490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4230162007222918868.post-91184659960107098202013-01-11T23:57:36.681-05:002013-01-11T23:57:36.681-05:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.renalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08481511942907698096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4230162007222918868.post-3127516497778827052013-01-11T10:03:36.764-05:002013-01-11T10:03:36.764-05:00Those are interesting questions.

I was not directly involved in the case - it was presented at biopsy conference so the details are not what they could be.<br /><br />It is an ongoing case so I also didn't want to delve in much deeper out of fear of inadvertently revealing too much information and potentially allowing the patient to be identified. <br /><br />I try to stick to the path only in these cases for that reason. I'll try to find out the answer and email you.Gearoid McMahonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08049723797363526138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4230162007222918868.post-64468515970101754272013-01-10T21:26:56.138-05:002013-01-10T21:26:56.138-05:00Fascinating case Gearoid.
