Several studies have shown a correlation between degree of hypoalbuminemia and risk of VTE; Lionaki et al showed a threshold of S-albumin 28g/l below which the VTE risk increases and a nearly 6-fold increased risk of VTE at S-albumin ≤22g/L compared to >28g/L in patients with membranous nephropathy [15]. Here, ALB is linked to membranous glomerulonephritis.
