ALB and pancreatic serous cystadenoma: In this study, the level of albumin in IPAA patients with PSC was found to be in the expected range for healthy individuals and was not statistically different from the IPAA patients without PSC (3.8 ± 0.1 vs 4.5 ± 0.3; P= 0.320), suggesting overall preserved liver synthetic function in the PSC patients studied.
