How quickly blood albumin returns after major liver, pancreas, or bile-duct surgery predicts recovery

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This is an observational cohort that combines a retrospective arm (data from 2010 onward) with contemporaneous data collection at a single tertiary hepatobiliary center. Investigators will track perioperative serum albumin levels and record the time until albumin recovers toward baseline or a predefined threshold. They will compare that recovery time with post‑operative outcomes such as complications, morbidity, and length of hospital stay while accounting for factors like fluid management and albumin supplementation. The goal is to determine whether earlier albumin recovery is associated with lower complication rates and shorter admissions.
