Objective:
To investigate the relationship between serum albumin and renal function in patients with acute leukemia (AL) and its clinical significance.
Methods:
The clinical data and related test results of 267 newly diagnosed patients with acute leukemia from April 2015 to April 2017 were collected for retrospective cross-sectional analysis. Multivariate regression model was used for statistical analysis.
Results:
The creatinine level in serum of newly diagnosed acute leukemia patients decreased with the increase of albumin level (the first quartile-the fourth quartile had an average creatinine level of 72.0 µmol/L, 65.2 µmol/L, 62.8 µmol/L, 58.6 µmol/L); Multiple regression model results showed that each elevated albumin 1 g/L, the serum creatinine level decreased 0.89 µmol/L. The serum albumin was grouped into the model by quartile, and the first quartile was used as the reference group. With the increase of albunin, the β value decreased steply (the second and fourth quartile β values were -12.7, -14.81, -15.98), the trend line test p value was <0.05.
Conclusion:
Serum albumin negatively correlats with creatinine level in newly diagnosed acute leukemia patients, and its elevation shows protective effect on renal function.

Correlation
Two variables, for example, a and b, are said to be positively correlated if both variables move in the same direction. In other words, a positive correlation exists between two variables, a and b, if:
