In these patients, restoring the liquid homeostasis is a challenge, but some key points can help the physicians with first-line management: 1) carefully evaluate the signs of hypovolemia (edematous state can be misleading); 2) bear in mind that-in hypovolemic, severely hypoalbuminemic (serum albumin levels < 2 g/dL) NS children-initial fluid administration should be followed by a 20% albumin infusion if oligoanuria persists; intravenous 4.5% albumin may be a valid alternative as a first-line therapy instead of crystalloid and 20% albumin; and 3) pay attention when using furosemide; it should only be administered after albumin infusion or after hypovolemia correction.
