It can be stated  a LOT clearer than that.

A "colloid" is a colloid because it isn't "soluble" [Ionic silver is soluble but doesn't have nearly the PPM that soluble silver nitrate can have.] Silver Nitrate isn't a colloid. [it's a soluble ionic compound that can be several thousands of PPM silver ] The blood level figure doesn't say how much silver nitrate the patient consumed at what PPM over what period of time...it's meaningless. Silver Nitrate is by no means "colloidal silver", nor is it what we would call "Ionic Silver' [although "technically" the definition fits]

"Most of the absorbed silver is transported through blood as a soluble colloid with plasma protein. The plasma protein that is most commonly bound with silver is albumin, forming silver albuminate. The blood level of silver in argyremic patients is reported to vary from nondetectable to 0.005 mg Ag/l [6]. However, Blumberg and Carey report a single patient whose spectrographic analysis of blood reveals blood silver levels of 0.5 mg/l, approximately 1 week after discontinuing the use of silver nitrate capsules [7].

Some of the silver in plasma is carried as a salt and may be deposited in various tissues after being reduced to its metallic form. The highest concentrations of silver are found in the skin, liver, spleen, and adrenals. Although originally believed to not penetrate the blood-brain barrier, it has been shown now that parenterally administered silver salts can accumulate in neurons and glial cells of the brain and spinal cord. The amount of silver deposited in the various tissues is directly proportional to the blood supply of the respective organ."

It can't be stated any more clearly than that.
