Why is albumin used in sepsis? help please?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Stays in vessels: During treatment of sepsis, one of the main goals is maintaining a high enough blood pressure to keep blood flowing through the organs.Sepsis can cause blood vessels to leak fluids into the tissues.The albumen holds on to the fluid and keeps it inside blood vessels, so the blood pressure stays up.
