Albumin 5% (Human) Solution is a sterile, intravenous fluid derived from human plasma. It contains albumin, a key protein in the blood that helps maintain oncotic pressure, which is essential for fluid balance in the circulatory system. This solution is used to expand blood volume in medical situations such as trauma, surgery, burns, or infections, and to treat conditions like hypoalbuminemia. It helps stabilize blood pressure and improve circulation by increasing plasma volume.

Octapharma Albumin 5% Solution is a critical therapeutic option for restoring and maintaining blood volume in patients experiencing hypovolemia. This sterile, 5% human albumin solution is expertly prepared to provide essential support in various clinical settings.

Uses:

Primarily used for treating hypovolemia due to surgery, trauma, or burns, Albumin 5% is a vital component in maintaining plasma volume and stabilizing hemodynamic status.

Dosage:

Dosage varies based on individual patient needs, clinical conditions, and therapeutic response. Typically, the initial dose is calculated based on body weight and desired plasma volume expansion. Always follow your healthcare provider's instructions.

CDC Guidelines:

Adherence to CDC guidelines for the administration of blood products is essential. Ensure appropriate patient identification, cross-checking procedures, and monitoring during infusion.

Details and Features:

  • Volume: Provided in a 500 mL bottle for flexible dosing.
  • Purity: Highly purified, minimizing the risk of allergic reactions.
  • Sterility: Produced under stringent conditions to ensure sterility and safety.
  • Compatibility: Can be administered intravenously, alone, or with other common electrolytes and carbohydrates.

Mechanism of Action:

Albumin works by increasing the oncotic pressure of plasma, drawing fluids into blood vessels and expanding blood volume. This helps in stabilizing blood pressure and improving circulation.

Directions for Use:

  1. Administration: Administer intravenously using a sterile, pyrogen-free infusion set.
  2. Monitoring: Continuously monitor blood pressure, heart rate, and urine output during administration.
  3. Adjustments: Adjust the infusion rate based on the patient's response and clinical condition.

Warnings:

  • Hypersensitivity: Patients with a history of allergic reactions to albumin should be monitored closely.
  • Heart Failure/Renal Impairment: Caution in patients with these conditions due to the risk of fluid overload.
  • Infection Risks: Follow aseptic techniques to minimize the risk of bacterial contamination.

Side Effects:

  • Common: Flushing, urticaria, fever, nausea.
  • Serious: Anaphylactic shock, fluid overload, pulmonary edema.

Consult a healthcare professional for personalized advice and to report any adverse reactions. Trust Octapharma Albumin 5% Solution for effective plasma volume support when it’s needed most.

FAQs for Albumin Human Injection
  • What Is Albumin Human Injection Used For?

    Albumin Human Injection is a purified, sterile solution of human serum albumin used for restoring and maintaining plasma volume in conditions such as hypovolemia, hypoproteinemia, burns, shock, nephrotic syndrome, and acute liver failure. It is FDA approved and trusted in hospitals worldwide for rapid fluid resuscitation, support during surgery, and treatment of albumin deficiency.

  • Is Albumin IV Safe for Pregnancy?

    Yes, Human Albumin Injection may be considered safe in pregnancy when clearly needed and prescribed by a physician, especially if the benefit outweighs the risk. Always consult with your doctor.

  • How Long Does an Albumin Injection Last?

    The effects usually last 16–24 hours, but the duration can vary by indication, patient needs, and rate of consumption in critical illness.

  • How to Administer Human Albumin?

    Albumin injection is administered intravenously (IV) slowly by a healthcare professional, typically in a hospital or clinic. Dosage depends on the indication, age, and severity.

  • What Are the Risks of Using Human Albumin?

    Potential risks include allergic reactions, fluid overload, increased intracranial pressure, infection transmission risk (rare), and anaphylaxis. Proper monitoring is essential.

  • Can Low Albumin Cause Death?

    Yes, severe hypoalbuminemia can lead to life-threatening complications such as shock, edema, organ failure, blood clotting disorders, and even death if untreated.

  • What is Human Albumin Made From?

    Human albumin is plasma-derived from healthy, screened donor blood using advanced fractionation and purification techniques to ensure safety.

  • Why Would Albumin Be Given IV?

    It is given IV to rapidly expand plasma volume, correct albumin deficiency, support drug delivery, and treat shock, burns, liver conditions, or acute illness.

  • How Many Albumin Injections Are Given?

    The number of albumin injections varies by medical need, ranging from one-time bolus doses to serial infusions over days during critical illness.

  • What Foods Increase Albumin Levels?

    High-protein foods such as eggs, lean meats, fish, dairy products, soy, nuts, and legumes naturally boost albumin levels when deficiency is due to poor intake.

  • Why Is Albumin Injection Costly?

    Albumin injection is costly due to the complex donor screening, purification, and viral inactivation processes required for safety and efficacy.

  • Do You Need a Prescription for Albumin?

    Yes, albumin is a prescription medication strictly regulated and administered by healthcare professionals.

  • Why Is An Albumin Injection Given Slowly?

    Slow IV infusion helps prevent fluid overload, pulmonary edema, and cardiovascular complications, especially in the elderly or those with heart conditions.

  • What Organ Does Albumin Affect?

    Albumin primarily supports the liver, kidneys, and cardiovascular system by maintaining osmotic pressure and fluid balance.

  • What Does Albumin Do to the Heart?

    By increasing intravascular volume, albumin supports cardiac output but must be used carefully in heart failure to avoid overload.

  • Does Vitamin D Increase Albumin?

    Vitamin D status can influence albumin synthesis, but alone is not a treatment for hypoalbuminemia.

  • Can Low Albumin Cause Blood Clots?

    Severe hypoalbuminemia increases the risk of blood clots and thromboembolism due to altered blood viscosity and flow.
