Disclosed is a method for determining edema associated with a liver disease, which comprises the step of quantifying the ratio of oxidized albumin in an albumin component contained in a biological sample collected from a subject. In the method, it is preferred to determine the degree of edema based on the presence of a positive correlation between the ratio of oxidized albumin and the degree of edema. Also disclosed is an albumin preparation for the prevention or treatment of edema associated with a liver disease, which comprises an albumin component containing oxidized albumin at a ratio of less than 60%. The ratio of oxidized albumin in the albumin component to be contained in the preparation is preferably less than 25%. |
