Comparison of the diuretic effect of furosemide mixed with human albumin or fresh frozen plasma for patients with hypoalbuminemia in the intensive care unit

Abstract

In ICU patients, 60 mg FU mixed with HA or FFP has a similar diuretic effect in patients with CCr >20 ml/min. FFP is an effective alternative choice for improving diuresis for ICU patients with hypoalbuminemia. In patients with CCr < or = 20 ml/min, albumin mixed with 60 mg FU has a superior diuretic effect compared with FFP mixed with FU.
