Product Details:

human albumin injection is an intravenous infusion of human albumin, a protein found in blood, to restore and maintain circulating blood volume lost due to significant trauma, bleeding, surgery, or kidney dialysis. It also helps address low levels of albumin in the blood. Administered by healthcare professionals, it can cause side effects like fever, chills, headache, flushing, and, in rare cases, serious reactions like anaphylactic shock.
What it is and how it works
Plasma volume expander:
Human albumin functions as a plasma volume expander, increasing blood volume by replenishing lost fluids.
Restores fluid balance:
It replaces blood and other bodily fluids lost during various medical conditions, such as severe trauma, significant bleeding, major surgery, or kidney dialysis.
Addresses low albumin levels:
It is also used to treat hypoalbuminemia, a condition where there are low levels of albumin in the blood.
Conditions treated
Low blood volume after serious injury, bleeding, or burns.
Post-surgery fluid loss.
Kidney dialysis.
Conditions with low blood protein (hypoalbuminemia).
How it's given
Human albumin is administered as an infusion directly into a vein by a healthcare professional.
Self-administration is not recommended.
Potential side effects
Common:
Tenderness or pain at the injection site, flushing (warmth in the face, neck, or trunk), fever, chills, nausea, and headache.
Serious (rare):
Allergic reactions, including rash, trouble breathing, swelling, and rapid heart rate.
Vascular overload:
Rapid infusion can lead to fluid overload in the blood vessels, potentially causing pulmonary edema (fluid in the lungs).
