Albumin uptake in T cells was described to be associated with aGvHD development.28 Thus, our results confirm those of Rezvani et al.,21 but suggest changes in serum albumin metabolism/catabolism or possible GvHD-induced vascular damage in the kidney rather than mere intestinal loss of serum albumin as a pathological component of aGvHD. This evidence concerns the gene ALB and graft versus host disease.
