Liver cirrhosis and nephrotic syndrome: Hypoalbuminemia, oedema and ascites may be manifestation of liver cirrhosis and nephrotic syndrome [5]. Liver disorders: No studies have reported on the use of albumin infusion therapy in neonates with liver disorders. Infusions of albumin has been used in infants and children undergoing high volume paracentesis with a reported lower incidence of post-paracentesis circulatory dysfunction and asymptomatic hyponatremia but no difference in other clinical outcome [7]. However, as a fluid extraction of <200 mL/kg at a slow rate was associated with better haemodynamic stability, albumin infusion is not recommended [6, 7]. Nephrotic syndrome: In infants with congenital nephrotic syndrome and massive oedema, treatment with intravenous albumin and diuretic infusions has been used. However, the treatment has a risk of respiratory failure and congestive heart failure, so use of albumin infusion is cautioned [6].
