Our little cat Iffy (Iphigenia : ) was rescued her from a feral colony when she was about 6 months old. Now she is almost 2! Unfortunately, she has a life-threatening condition called chylothorax. It makes lymph fluid build up in her chest cavity, and would eventually cause her to suffocate....

This is my kitty, Iphigenia (Iffy).

We love her very much, and hope we can get together the money to save her.

Uses & Misuses of Albumin in the NICU

PubMed ID: 28739260

Year: 2017

Journal: Seminars in Fetal & Neonatal Medicine

-Reviews the use of albumin in the NICU and when we should/shouldn't use it - most often we shouldn’t 

-Pathophysiology review:

Albumin is the most abundant protein in plasma

Made in the liver as pre-proalbumin, once synthesized it is rapidly transferred to the plasma where it will cross the capillary wall to the ECS and be re-ciruclated intravascularly by the lymphatic system

Normal concentrations depend on GA - lots of variety. At birth it can range from 2-3 at term and increases by 15% in the first 3 weeks of life regardless of GA

Full term infants turn it over in 2-3 weeks, preterm infants in 5-7 days

-Current uses:

Hypotension - poor evidence for its use, probably because usually the neonatal hypotension is not due to hypovolemia. There were also no differences in long term outcomes looking at LOS, days on MV, PDA, or IVH

Delivery Room Resuscitation - not recommended 

Metabolic acidosis - not recommended

Pro-inflammatory states (AKA sepsis) - All the data is extrapolated from adult data - no use for albumin in neonates for sepsis or post-operative states

Hypoalbuminemia replacement - Low albumin might be physiological not pathological. Neonates may tolerate the lower levels as being normal - NOT recommended

Malnutrition - nope.

Hyperbilirubinemia - it might make exchange transfusions work better, but not routinely recommended

Chylothorax - the ONLY indication that you might get away with using albumin but more recent reviews have shown that it is more important to ensure adequate nutrition and hydration

-Bottom line: there is no place (maybe one indication...) for the use of albumin of any kind in the NICU

Die menschliche Lunge ist vom Brustfell, der sogenannten Pleura, umgeben. Dieses besteht aus zwei Blättern, von denen das innere fix mit der Lunge und das äussere mit der Brustwand verwachsen ist.
