The role of albumin in fluid and electrolyte balance
J Infus Nurs.
2006 Sep-Oct.
Abstract
Albumin plays an important role in maintaining homeostasis within the body and depends on the cell membrane and the transport mechanism, including diffusion, osmosis, filtration, and active transport. The dissolved proteins, which are the only substances that do not penetrate the pores of the capillary membrane, are responsible for the osmotic pressure of the capillary membrane. Approximately 75% of the total colloid osmotic pressure is related to albumin.
