Recombinant human haemoglobin expressed in Pichia yeast was wrapped covalently with recombinant human serum albumins, yielding a core–shell structured rHbA(X)–rHSA3 cluster as an entirely synthetic O2 carrier used for a red blood cell substitute.

Background: One of the modalities of renal replacement therapy in chronic kidney disease (CKD) is hemodialysis (HD). The role of inflammation in HD patients by uremic toxins and dialysis can be assessed by the marker of serum albumin. This inflammation also causes dysregulation of the hormone erythropoietin which results in increased variability or heterogeneity of red blood cell distribution width (RDW). Previous studies have revealed an association between RDW and albumin levels in regular HD patients which leads to increased patient morbidity and mortality. This study aims to determine the relationship between albumin serum levels and RDW as a marker of inflammation in regular HD patients. Method: This was a cross sectional study design, conducted in June to August 2020 at the HD unit of Haji Adam Malik General Hospital in Medan. Twenty subjects were included. Data were analyzed using Pearson correlation test and T-test to find the correlation between albumin serum levels and RDW, and other variables. Results: Of the 20 subjects taken based on consecutive sampling, the majority was male, 13 people (65%), mean age was 50.30 ± 12.57 years with the most comorbid type 2 diabetes mellitus for 14 people (70%). The mean serum albumin level was 3.2 ± 0.65 mg/dl. The mean RDW value was 15.93 ± 1.87%. This study showed that there was a significant relationship between serum albumin levels and RDW values ​​(r = - 0.687; p = 0.001). RDW values ​​were also significantly associated with hemoglobin levels (r = 0.497; p = 0.026) and creatinine (r= 0.519; p= 0.019). Conclusion: Albumin, hemoglobin, and creatinine levels were significantly associated with RDW values ​​in regular HD patients. Keywords: inflammation, albumin, regular hemodialysis, RDW.

The binding of dantrolene to rabbit red blood cell (RBC) ghosts and bovine serum albumin as models of receptor sites was studied using fluorescence techniques. Dantrolene upon binding to rabbit RBC ghosts and bovine serum albumin showed fluorescence with emission maxima at 495 and 500 nm, respectively. Dantrolene bound to rabbit RBC ghosts with an association constant of 6.06 × 104 M−1 and there were 2.4 × 106 dantrolene binding sites per ghost. The binding of dantrolene to bovine serum albumin showed an anomaly with respect to dantrolene concentration. Dantrolene at concentrations of 1.25 – 3.75 μM bound to bovine serum albumin with an association constant of 1.72 × 104 M−1 and there were 1.078 binding sites/mol bovine serum albumin. The higher affinity of dantrolene toward blood cells was confirmed by studying the distribution of dantrolene between blood cells and plasma after a single i.p. injection of dantrolene sodium (3 mg/kg) to albino rabbits. It was found that the concentration of dantrolene in rabbit blood cells was 2.76 times that of plasma.

We measured hematocrit and serum albumin concentration at birth and red blood cell and plasma volume soon after birth in prematurely born infants with erythroblastosis fetalis of varying severity and examined the realtionships between these variables and the presence and severity of hydrops fetalis. Blood volumes in most of these infants were similar to the established normals for newborn infants without erythroblastosis. There was no simple association between blood volume and the presence of hydrops. Nonhydropic and severely hydropic infants had, on the average, similar and normal blood volumes, while mildly hydropic infants had low blood volumes. Anemia correlated fairly well with severity of hydrops but almost a quarter of the infants with severe hydrops were only mildly anemic. Red blood cell volume decreased and plasma volume increased proportionally with the degree of anemia at birth. Thus, hydropic infants with severe anemia had large plasma volumes while those with milder anemia did not. On the other hand, hypoalbuminemia was common and correlated closely with severity of hydrops. We suggest that hydrops results at least in part from low plasma colloid osmotic pressure due to hypoalbuminemia.
