AbstractAlthough albumin (A) may be considered an ideal natural colloid, the clinical importance efficacy of A administration in the treatment of critical illness have changed considerably of late years. This article reviews data about the use of A at present. It is obvious that, routine administration of A on the basis of reduced plasma albumin levels cannot be recommended. There are at the present time no clear indications for A administration. Albumin can be used only as a second-choice infusion solution when other products are not indicated, are contraindicated or have been used up their maximum dose.
