Human albumin solutions in intensive care: A review
1Whipps Cross University Hospital, London, UK.
Abstract:
Albumin plays a key role in the critically ill patient acting as a prognostic marker and as a therapy in the form of human albumin solutions. However, the use of human albumin solution has varied over time with notable differences between health systems. Whilst its use is widely accepted for some clinical indications, its role has not always been clear in the critically ill and has been found to be harmful in some cohorts. Numerous studies have showed conflicting results and critical care clinicians have not always been guided by robust evidence. Nonetheless, at present the use of human albumin solution appears to be increasing again in the United Kingdom. Below, we discuss the latest evidence base for its use in critically ill patients.
