Relationship between plasma fibrinogen concentration and both albumin synthesis in g/1.73m2/day and plasma volume in percent body weight (PV%) at the time of the initial injection of [125]I albumin. Fibrinogen = (13.14 * albumin synthesis/1.73m2) -[52.67 * PV(%)]; PV, P < , r2 = ; albumin synthesis, P < , r2 =

5. Figure 4
Temporal variation in serum fibrinogen concentration (•; weeks vs. fibrinogen g/L), CRP concentration (▵; weeks vs. CRP mg/dL), albumin (□·; weeks vs. albumin g/dL) and α1 acid glycoprotein (⋄; weeks vs α1 AG g/L) in four consecutive hemodialysis patients in whom CRP changed by at least one order of magnitude during the period of observation. Units were scaled to show protein levels in similar ranges.

Box plots of coefficients of variation (standard deviation divided by mean) of albumin (Alb), transferrin (Trf), C-reactive protein (CRP) α1 acid glycoprotein (α1 AG), ceruloplasmin (Cer), interleukin 6 (IL-6) and fibrinogen (Fib) during sequential measurements in 74 patients on hemodialysis ranging from 3.25 to 67.5 months.*P < 0.05 vs. albumin; +P < 0.05 vs. CRP and IL-6.
