To treat a variety of conditions, including shock due to blood loss in the body, burns, low protein levels due to surgery or liver failure, and as an additional medicine in bypass surgery. It may be used for certain conditions as determined by your doctor.

Albumin (Human) is a concentrate of plasma proteins from human blood. It works by increasing plasma volume or serum albumin levels. Albumin is a major plasma protein produced in the liver. It increased the oncotic pressure of the blood and an increased oncotic pressure will draw fluid from the interstitial space into the blood vessel. During shock, a patients blood pressure decreases dangerously. By infusing albumin, we can increase the oncotic (colloid) pressure of the blood, draw more fluid from the interstitial space into the blood, and effectively increase blood pressure by increasing blood volume. Do not infuse albumin if:

* you are allergic to any ingredient in Albumin (Human) * you have or have ever had heart failure, kidney failure or stable chronic anemia, or you are at risk for fluid overload
