A patient may receive albumin to help restore and maintain oncotic pressure in cases of hypoalbuminemia, which can occur due to conditions like liver disease, nephrotic syndrome, or severe burns. It is also used in managing fluid resuscitation in critical situations, such as sepsis or significant blood loss, where maintaining blood volume and proper circulation is crucial.
