A member asked:

Wouldn't malnutrition due to crohn's disease cause an abnormal prealbumin blood level?

Dr. Philip Brondon answered

Specializes in Internal Medicine

Pre-albumin / Crohns: Yes depending on level of inflammation in crohns disease. As a gastroenterologist I use pre-albumin in conjunction with other blood tests to see how my patients are responding to therapy. If inflammation is poorly controlled pre-albumin is usually low.
