What is the primary use of Albumin in colloid fluids?

For significant edema
For dehydration
For increasing urine output
For treatment of hypertension

The correct answer is: For significant edema

Albumin is primarily used in colloid fluids for managing significant edema. This is because albumin is a protein that helps to maintain fluid balance in the body. Therefore, it is used to treat conditions where there is excess fluid buildup in the body, such as edema. Using albumin for dehydration, increasing urine output, or treating hypertension would not be the primary use as these conditions do not necessarily involve significant fluid imbalances or buildup.
