AbstractRecent publications have renewed interest in albumin use in the ICU. Meta-analyses have been published that demonstrate the safety of albumin administration and even potential benefits. Hypoalbuminemia, which has long been considered a marker of disease, has been causally linked to the development of complications. Finally, advances have been made in our knowledge of the unique and potentially beneficial properties of albumin.
