factors such as ambulation , fasting , dehydration , and the nature of the blood sample can markedly affect the value for colloid osmotic pressure value , and this , coupled with the good correlation with the serum albumin in several studies , leads us to question the usefulness of measuring colloid osmotic pressure in a non-specialist hospital environment , either as an adjunct to the measurement of serum protein or albumin , or as an independent test .
