Albumin 20% vs Standard Fluids for Septic Shock
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This trial tests whether giving a concentrated protein solution (albumin 20%) early in septic shock helps better than standard fluids (crystalloids). It's for people who have been in septic shock less than 24 hours and still need blood pressure support.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with septic shock in the last 24 hours, meaning a severe infection with low blood pressure despite fluids.
- You are on medications called vasopressors to keep your blood pressure above a certain level.
- Your blood lactate level (a sign of tissue stress) is higher than 2 mmol/L.
- If you are a woman who could become pregnant, you must have a negative pregnancy test and not be breastfeeding.
- You do not have a known allergy to albumin or a condition that would make albumin treatment risky.

This trial tests whether giving albumin instead of standard crystalloid fluids helps adults with septic shock. It may improve how well your body circulates blood and reduces strain on organs.
This trial tests if giving human albumin (a protein fluid) can help treat septic shock in surgical intensive care patients. If you have severe infection and very low blood pressure after surgery, this treatment might improve recovery.
This study tests if giving fewer fluids (other than the fluids to keep blood pressure up) can help people recover from septic shock. It compares a reduced fluid strategy to the usual care in the ICU.
This trial tests whether a blood filtering treatment called hemoadsorption can help protect blood vessels in people with septic shock. It may be an option for patients who are already on strong blood pressure medications and steroids.
This trial tests a special fluid management strategy for people in septic shock—a serious infection that causes very low blood pressure. It aims to improve blood flow to organs and help you recover.
This study is for adults in the intensive care unit with septic shock (a severe infection that drops blood pressure). It looks at how well your body holds fluid and whether treatment can be safely reduced.
