ALB and nephrotic syndrome: If Salb is the liver synthesis rate of albumin (12–14 g/die at basal lever), Clalb is the metabolic clearance of albumin (L/die), Ualb is the urinary loss of albumin (g/die), and [Alb] is the plasma concentration of albumin (g/L), the following summarizes the condition of nephrotic syndrome [34]:d[Alb]/dt ∗ Vp = Salb − Clalb ∗ [Alb] − Ualb(1)where Vp is the plasma volume.
