However, little is known about effects of synthetic colloids on other organs. Ginz and colleagues found altered organ morphology and considerable colloidal storage in parenchymal and reticuloendothelial cells of the liver, lung and kidney in a septic patient after synthetic colloid administration [2]. For this reason we analyzed the effects of HES and gelatin on kidney, liver and lung function in comparison with crystalloids in septic patients. …
