ALB and Stroke: For instance, Mahmud et al. observed that in a cohort of 50 acute ischemic stroke patients, the mean serum albumin level was 3.73±0.63 g/dl.15 Their study found an inverse relationship between serum albumin levels and both stroke severity (NIHSS) and functional outcomes (mRS), indicating that lower albumin levels are linked to worse outcomes, reinforcing its prognostic role in stroke patients.
