Description
Introduction Of Human Albumin 20% Solution:
Human Albumin 20% Solution is a concentrated plasma protein product (Human Normal Albumin I.P. 20%) prepared from qualified human plasma. It is used to raise low blood volume, to correct low albumin levels, and to reduce fluid build-up caused by liver and kidney disease. Each 50 ml pack contains 10 g of albumin.
This solution is meant for intravenous (I.V.) use only and should be given by a doctor or a trained healthcare worker. The dose and the rate of infusion depend on the patient’s weight, the illness being treated, and how the body responds. It should not be mixed with water for injections, because this can damage red blood cells. Inspect the bottle before use and discard it if the liquid is cloudy, contains particles, or the container is damaged.
Before treatment, tell your doctor if you have heart disease, severe anaemia, kidney problems, or a known allergy to albumin. During the infusion the medical team monitors your blood pressure, pulse, and breathing. Report any fever, chills, itching, rash, or breathing difficulty immediately.
Uses Of Human Albumin 20% Solution:
- Hypovolemia (low blood volume)
- Hypoalbuminemia (low albumin levels)
- Cirrhosis of the liver with ascites
- Nephrotic syndrome
Benefits Of Human Albumin 20% Solution:
1. Hypovolemia
A sudden loss of blood or body fluid reduces the volume of blood in circulation and can lower blood pressure. This solution attracts water from surrounding tissues into the blood vessels, which expands the blood volume and helps keep blood flowing to vital organs.
2. Hypoalbuminemia
A shortage of albumin in the blood may occur with liver disease, infection, major surgery, or heavy protein loss. Albumin infusion raises the protein level in the blood and helps hold fluid inside the vessels, so there is less swelling in the tissues.
3. Cirrhosis of the liver with ascites
Advanced cirrhosis reduces the liver’s ability to produce albumin and allows fluid to collect in the abdomen (ascites). After large amounts of this fluid are drained, albumin helps maintain circulation and lowers the risk of a sharp fall in blood volume.
4. Nephrotic syndrome
Patients with nephrotic syndrome lose large amounts of protein through the urine, which leads to swelling in the face, legs, and abdomen. Albumin, usually given with a diuretic, helps restore protein in the blood and supports the removal of extra fluid.
Side Effects Of Human Albumin 20% Solution:
Most reactions are mild and pass when the infusion is slowed or stopped. Inform your doctor if they persist or trouble you.
Possible side effects of Human Albumin:
- Flushing
- Fever
- Chills
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Itching or hives
- Fast heart rate
- Low blood pressure
Mechanism Of Action Of Human Albumin 20% Solution:
Human Albumin 20% Solution acts as a plasma volume expander. Albumin is the chief protein in blood and provides most of its oncotic pressure, which is the force that keeps water inside the blood vessels. A 20% solution is highly concentrated, so it draws additional fluid from the tissues into the bloodstream and increases circulating volume by more than the volume given. Albumin also carries hormones, bilirubin, and some medicines around the body. This is how it corrects low blood volume and the effects of low albumin.
