                                Studies have shown that low serum prealbumin levels are correlated with increased all-cause mortality in hospitalized patients at nutritional risk. So, what happens if prealbumin is low, and what does this marker truly indicate about a person's health? It is a complex indicator reflecting more than just nutritional status.
