While there is consistent evidence of the consequences of albumin oxidation in patients with cirrhosis or decompensated hepatic failure (Mera et al., 2005; Arroyo et al., 2014; Das et al., 2017), the literature describing the oxidation status of albumin in sepsis is scant (Quinlan et al., 1998; Colombo et al., 2012). Here, ALB is linked to liver failure.
