ALB and bacterial urinary tract infection: When the bacteria outgrow the capacity of lymph nodes, they spill over into the bloodstream.[30] The evidence shows that uropathogenic E coli was responsible for >80% of UTI and the pathogen was believed to originate from the intestines as these bacteria could be regular components of the microbiome of the gastrointestinal tract.[26,31] Moreover, patients with lower albumin are usually complicated with ascites and less urinary output, which is more susceptible to UTI.
