Severe sepsis and septic shock have a high mortality. Research has concentrated on adjunctive sepsis therapies; the role of supportive measures is comparatively unclear. In Europe the use of colloids is widespread, but there is no evidence on the role of either crystalloid or colloid volume therapy in sepsis. Recently, a higher incidence of kidney failure in sepsis was reported after administration of colloids.
