Is human albumin administration any good at all?

"We found no evidence that albumin reduced mortality and a strong suggestion that it might increase the risk of death in patients with hypovolaemia, burns, or hypoproteinaemia."

"Compared with other colloidal solutions and with crystalloid solutions, human albumin solutions are expensive.[3] Volume for volume, human albumin solution is twice as expensive as hydroxyethyl starch and over 30 times more expensive than crystalloid solutions such as sodium chloride or Ringer's lactate. "

Also i have a dumb question.
If is albumin you want, why don't you use egg albumin? I read somewhere they don't react against one another.

Thanks,
