摘要

Sepsis is a significant global health issue, with high morbidity, mortality, and economic burden. Its definition has evolved, with the latest Sepsis-3 criteria emphasizing life-threatening organ dysfunction due to a dysregulated host response. Endothelial dysfunction plays a critical role in sepsis pathogenesis, characterized by increased permeability and inflammatory responses. Human serum albumin, the most abundant protein in the bloodstream, is essential for maintaining oncotic pressure and endothelial integrity. This narrative review provides an overview of endothelial changes during sepsis and their impact on organ damage. We also explore the role of albumin administration in managing endothelial dysfunction in sepsis and discuss the available preclinical and clinical evidence.
