This review appraises the role of albumin in achieving fluid balance in critically ill patients, suggesting further research is necessary.
This review of albumin co-administration with diuretics and/or RRT in fluid de-resuscitation in the critical ill underscores the limited and often contradictory evidence currently available, despite the frequent use of this practice in clinical settings. Further high-quality research is warranted to determine its efficacy in achieving negative fluid balance and to clarify its impact on clinically relevant patient outcomes.
