TTR was originally called prealbumin because it ran
faster than albumins on electrophoresis gels.Prealbumin is produced by the
choroid plexus, by pancreatic islet cells in the embryonic yolk sac, and by
enterochromaffin cells in the gastrointestinal mucosa, but the liver is
quantitatively the most important source.9 Liver production is maintained until
late in liver disease.

Hydration status does not affect prealbumin levels. A negative acute phase
reactant, the prealbumin level will transiently decrease in the presence of
inflammation and in the immediate postsurgical period. Serum levels also
decline in patients with conditions associated with protein malnutrition, such
as malignancy, cirrhosis, protein-losing enteropathy, and zinc deficiency.
