    Snippet: COVID-19 outcomes like mortality have been associated with albumin alteration. However, it is unclear whether albumin changes in COVID-19 are pathogen specific or not. To this end, we characterized the kinetics of serum albumin in mechanically ventilated patients with COVID-19 compared to mechanically ventilated patients with sepsis-induced Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS). We discovered two phases of alterations in albumin levels during the course of Covid-19 critical illness, but not
    Document: COVID-19 outcomes like mortality have been associated with albumin alteration. However, it is unclear whether albumin changes in COVID-19 are pathogen specific or not. To this end, we characterized the kinetics of serum albumin in mechanically ventilated patients with COVID-19 compared to mechanically ventilated patients with sepsis-induced Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS). We discovered two phases of alterations in albumin levels during the course of Covid-19 critical illness, but not for the sepsis-induced ARDS. Our findings suggest the metabolic effects of COVID-19 are pathogen-specific and albumin recovery may signal the cessation of a deleterious immune response in this disease.
