ALB and acute kidney injury: In a pilot cohort with cirrhosis and AKI, 28% were fluid-depleted, 8% had intra-abdominal hypertension, 11% were fluid-expanded and only 36% were euvolemic; targeted therapy (albumin for depletion, loop diuretics for expansion, paracentesis for intra-abdominal hypertension) yielded renal improvement in 30% of overhydrated patients [12,19,88].
