The phrase "a decrease in albumin" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in medical or scientific contexts to describe a reduction in the level of albumin, a protein found in blood plasma.
Example: "The patient's lab results indicated a decrease in albumin, which may suggest liver dysfunction."
Alternatives: "a reduction in albumin" or "lower levels of albumin."
Serum analysis indicated significant increase in levels of ALT, AST and ALP and globulin whereas a decrease in albumin and total protein was also reported.
Hepatocyte monolayers exhibited a decrease in albumin production by approximately 65% over the 12 day observation period (Figure 4B).
A decrease in albumin concentration had the strongest alkalinizing effect (+1.3 mEq/L).
A decrease in albumin synthesis, albumin loss or hemodilution can be the cause of SA 20′s hypoalbuminemia [ 38].
Indeed, a decrease in albumin is associated with myelosuppression induced by several chemotherapeutic reagents, including TS-1 [ 26- 30].
Indications of hepatocellular damage, such as increases in AST, ALT, and ALP (later in disease) and a decrease in albumin, were also noted.
There was also a decrease in serum albumin as well as the albumin: globulin ratio indicating possible compromise in the synthetic capacity of the liver [18].
As serum albumin is an unmeasured anion, a decrease in plasma albumin concentration lowers the anion gap.
Furthermore, significant increases of HbA1c, creatinine, potassium, and aldosterone levels and plasma renin activity, and a decrease in urinary albumin excretion were also observed only in the spironolactone group.
After 4 weeks of treatment with a cooked bean supplemented (10%) diet, animals fed with Flor de Mayo bean (FMB) exerted the greatest protective effect, since they presented the lowest blood glucose levels, consistent with an increase in blood insulin levels, a decrease in urine albumin and urea levels and an increase in creatinine clearance (P≤.05).
In patients without AKI a decrease in protein, albumin and IgG concentrations was observed during recompensation compared between the different sampling time points and day 1 (each p < 0.05).
