Albutein 5% (Human) by Grifols Therapeutics is an intravenous solution of human serum albumin prepared as a sterile, preservative-free solution. The 5% concentration indicates that there are 5 grams of human albumin per 100 milliliters of solution. This particular formulation is provided in a 250 mL Flexbag, which makes it convenient for administration in clinical settings. Here are its primary features and uses:

Composition: Albutein 5% is a solution made from human plasma, containing 5% albumin in isotonic saline. It's designed to match the osmolarity of human plasma.

Form: The product is supplied in an intravenous (IV) bag, known as a Flexbag, which is a flexible, single-use container.

Volume: 250 mL per bag.

Preservative-Free: The solution does not contain any artificial preservatives, reducing the risk of adverse reactions for sensitive patients.

Indications and Uses:

  • Volume Expansion: Used to increase blood volume in cases of hypovolemia, shock, or blood loss, helping maintain circulation and blood pressure.
  • Burn Therapy: Supports fluid management in patients with extensive burns.
  • Hypoalbuminemia: Helps elevate serum albumin levels in conditions like chronic liver disease, nephrotic syndrome, or severe infections.
  • Cardiopulmonary Bypass: Used during and after surgery to stabilize blood volume and blood pressure.
  • Oncotic Pressure Maintenance: Helps in maintaining colloidal osmotic pressure in various clinical scenarios.

Administration Considerations:

  • Administered intravenously by healthcare professionals.
    The dosage is determined based on the patient’s condition, weight, and the desired clinical outcome.
  • Since it’s preservative-free and administered via an IV bag, it needs to be used promptly once opened to avoid contamination.

Albutein 5% is widely used in hospitals and emergency settings due to its efficacy in managing fluid and protein imbalances in the bloodstream.

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.
