Mechanism of Action

Albumin (Human) 5% functions as a natural plasma expander. It works by increasing the plasma colloid osmotic pressure, which aids in maintaining the oncotic pressure of the blood. This helps in sustaining adequate circulating blood volume. Moreover, Albumin plays a critical role in the transportation of hormones, enzymes, and medications through the bloodstream, facilitating their delivery and efficacy.

Directions for Use

  • Administer intravenously under the supervision of a healthcare professional.
  • Dosage should be tailored according to the patient’s condition, physiological response, and clinical need.
    Infusion rate should be adjusted based on the patient’s cardiovascular status.

It’s essential to adhere to protocol directives for dilution and infusion durations set by healthcare guidelines.

Warnings

  • Product is derived from human plasma, which, despite rigorous screening and manufacturing protocols, carries a potential albeit very low risk of transmitting infectious agents.
  • Use with caution in patients with a known hypersensitivity to albumin preparations.
  • Monitor fluid status due to the risk of hypervolemia or hemodilution, especially in vulnerable populations such as patients with cardiac or renal insufficiencies.

Side Effects

Possible side effects of Albumin (Human) 5% administration may include, but are not limited to:

  • Hypotension or Hypertension
  • Allergic reactions, ranging from mild urticaria to severe anaphylactic shock
  • Fluid overload resulting in edema
  • Electrolyte imbalances
  • Potential for transmission of infectious agents despite stringent viral inactivation steps in the manufacturing process

Disclaimer: Always consult the prescribing information and engage in thorough patient evaluation before administering Albumin (Human) 25% IV Solution Vial to ensure its safe and effective use tailored to individual needs.

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.
