Human albumin 20% solution 100 ml Injection
Human albumin injection is a medication used to replenish blood volume and albumin levels in the body, particularly when there’s a deficiency due to conditions like bleeding, surgery, or burns. It works by increasing the plasma volume and restoring the osmotic pressure in the blood.
Uses:
Hypovolemia: Low blood volume due to conditions like hemorrhage, surgery, or burns.
Hypoalbuminemia: Low albumin levels in the blood, often due to liver disease, malnutrition, or burns.
Edema: Fluid buildup in tissues, often associated with kidney disease or heart failure.
Burns: To help stabilize blood volume and reduce the risk of shock.
Cardiopulmonary bypass surgery: Used as a priming fluid.
Mechanism:
Albumin is a protein found in the blood that helps maintain blood volume and pressure.
When albumin levels are low or blood volume is reduced, the body may experience symptoms like low blood pressure, edema, and shock.
Human albumin injection works by replacing the lost albumin and increasing the plasma volume, thereby restoring blood pressure and fluid balance.
