  • Image Result

    Serum albumin concentration at baseline and after 3 and 6 months of AA supplementation (means, 95% CI); ∗P < .001 versus baseline value.

  • Image Result

    Correlation between number of AA applications and serum albumin increase (interval 0 to 3 months). Dashed lines demarcate 95% CI of the linear regression line.
