Transfusion‐associated acute lung injury following albumin treatment in liver disease

Transfusion-related acute lung injury is an infrequent adverse reaction observed in patients receiving blood products. The lung injury can range in severity and can be associated with both mortality and mortality. All blood products except albumin have been linked to cases of transfusion-related acute lung injury. In fact, albumin may be used as a salvage modality in severe transfusion-related acute lung injury. We report an alcoholic patient who developed lung injury following treatment with albumin in the setting of hypoalbuminaemia.
