However, whether this is important and measurements of Zn serum levels should be adjusted for serum albumin remains unclear as it was also observed that total enteral nutrition led to an increase in serum albumin and a decrease in disease activity but the serum Zn levels remained low.34 This suggests that, in some patients, Zn deficiency and hypoalbuminemia may occur simultaneously for independent reasons. Here, ALB is linked to Hypoalbuminemia.
