HUMAN ALBUMIN 20% SOLUTION FOR INFUSION-BIOTEST 50ML

Product Overview

Biotest Human Albumin 20% Solution for Infusion is a highly concentrated, plasma-derived product essential for various critical medical conditions.
It is meticulously prepared from human plasma and undergoes stringent viral inactivation procedures to ensure patient safety.
This sterile solution is administered intravenously by qualified healthcare professionals to restore plasma volume, maintain oncotic pressure, and support vital physiological functions.
Often referenced in medical and pharmaceutical databases for its critical role in patient care.

Benefits of Use

Biotest Human Albumin 20% provides several significant therapeutic benefits:
* **Plasma Volume Expansion:** Effectively increases circulating plasma volume, critical in managing conditions such as hypovolemic shock, severe trauma, or extensive burns.
* **Oncotic Pressure Maintenance:** Helps to maintain the colloid osmotic pressure, preventing excessive fluid leakage from blood vessels into interstitial spaces and tissues.
* **Albumin Replacement:** Indicated for severe hypoalbuminemia (low albumin levels) that may result from conditions like liver cirrhosis, nephrotic syndrome, or severe malnutrition.
* **Drug Binding and Transport:** Albumin plays a crucial physiological role in binding and transporting a wide array of endogenous and exogenous substances, including hormones, enzymes, drugs, and toxins.

How To Use

Biotest Human Albumin 20% Solution for Infusion must always be administered by a qualified healthcare professional in a clinical setting.
1. **Visual Inspection:** Before administration, the solution should be visually inspected for any particulate matter or discoloration. Do not use if particles are present or the solution is turbid.
2. **Administration Route:** Administer intravenously using an appropriate infusion set. The rate of infusion should be adjusted according to the patient's clinical situation and response.
3. **Dosage Determination:** The dosage is highly individualized and determined by the patient's clinical condition, body weight, the severity of albumin deficiency, and ongoing fluid balance.
4. **Clinical Monitoring:** Close monitoring of hemodynamic parameters, fluid balance, electrolyte levels, and renal function is essential during and after the infusion to prevent complications.

Caution & Warnings

* Do not administer to patients with a known history of hypersensitivity to human albumin or any of its excipients.
* Exercise extreme caution regarding the risk of hypervolemia and circulatory overload, particularly in patients with pre-existing cardiac insufficiency, hypertension, or renal impairment. Close monitoring is crucial.
* Rapid infusion may potentially lead to adverse reactions such as flushing, urticaria, fever, chills, and nausea. The infusion rate should be carefully managed.
* Regular monitoring of electrolyte levels is required, as albumin administration can lead to imbalances, especially regarding sodium.
* Use with caution in conditions where hyperproteinemia could be detrimental, including severe anemia, heart failure, and pulmonary edema.
* Although robust viral inactivation measures are in place, as a plasma-derived product, there remains a theoretical, albeit minimal, risk of transmitting infectious agents.
