2. Figure 1
Changes in the rate of albumin synthesis. Changes were measured as the turnover rate of [125]I human serum albumin measured during a 6-week period at baseline and either after a decline in serum albumin concentration of ≥0.3g/dL (left panel) or following 2years if serum albumin concentration did not decline by 0.3g/dL (right panel).

Changes in the levels of C-reactive protein (CRP) (A), ceruloplasmin (B), and α1 acid glycoprotein (α1AG) (C) in the 21 patients in whom albumin concentration declined by ≥0.3g/dL.

4. Figure 3
Levels of C-reactive protein (CRP) (A), ceruloplasmin (B), and α1 acid glycoprotein (α1AG) (C) during the two periods during which albumin synthesis was measured in the 38 patients in whom albumin concentration did not change (stable).

5. Figure 4
Equalibrated normalized protein catabolic rate (enPCR) measured during the periods of determination of albumin synthesis rate in the patients in whom albumin concentration declined by ≥0.3g/dL (A) and in those patients in whom albumin concentration remained unchanged (B).
