HUMAN ALBUMIN SOLUTIONS HAVE BEEN USED THERAPEUTICALLY IN THE UNITED STATES FOR MORE THAN 80 YEARS.1,2

Aspect

Human albumin solution is an extensively studied plasma protein used for a broad range of clinical conditions.3

The key indication for albumin is the restoration and maintenance of circulating blood volume for trauma, surgery, blood loss, hypoalbuminemia, and burns.4,5

The dose requirements are dependent on the size of the patient, severity of trauma or illness, and continuing fluid and protein losses. The degree and duration of volume expansion depends on a patients’ clinical condition and initial circulatory volume, but the effect may be diminished with dehydration.4,5
