“There is NO research that shows albumin is worth a dam. It’s expensive, a blood product that has its own issues. If albumin did what you state it could be titrated for urine output. Lasix with albumin proves only lasix works, a trial would have to be done to if either or both work.
There are many IV fluids that can be given for volume expansion that are cheaper and work.
ATLS, ACLS recommends good fluids for volume use that are cheaper and safe.
There can be very narrow reasons to us albumin but volume expansion is not one of them.”
