The objective of this study was to investigate the in vivo relationship between plasma free fatty acid (FFA)/albumin molar ratio and indicators of cellular damage. A case series study was carried out in 20 geriatric patients in a stable clinical condition. Their plasma albumin concentration was in the range 26-42 g l-1. There was a significant positive correlation between the FFA/albumin ratio and (a) reticulocyte count (r = 0.61, p = 0.006), (b) lactate dehydrogenase activity (r = 0.69, p = 0.002), and (c) haptoglobin concentration (r = 0.46, p = 0.05). The haemoglobin concentration was inversely related to relative reticulocyte count (r = -0.55, p = 0.01). Absolute and relative reticulocyte counts were positively associated (r = 0.92, p < 0.0001). The results are in accordance with the contention that a high FFA/albumin ratio in vivo may elicit cellular damage. Further studies are required to elucidate to what extent a high FFA/albumin ratio might be causally related to diseases.
