Product Introduction
Albutein 20% injection 100ml contains human albumin as the active constituent. It is a liquid albumin preparation derived from human plasma. It is administered to replace lost blood or body fluids in conditions such as excessive bleeding, surgery, or kidney dialysis. It helps restore and maintain blood volume. This medicine can be given to both adults and children. Albumin is a protein that maintains osmotic pressure between blood vessels and tissue, and is responsible for regulating fluid balance. Volume deficiencies may occur during medical conditions or treatments such as surgery, shock, severe trauma, liver failure, dialysis, and burn therapy. Albutein 20% injection 100ml is commonly used to address these deficiencies. As this drug is derived from human plasma, there is a higher risk of viral infections in patients who receive frequent infusions. To reduce the risk of viral infections, your doctor may administer vaccines for Hepatitis A and B before starting the infusion. These vaccines help protect against these specific viral infections. Before receiving this injection, inform your doctor if you have hypertension, severe anaemia, heart disease, lung inflammation, or breathing difficulty. Do not receive this drug if you are allergic to human albumin or have had previous allergic reactions to it. When using Albutein 20% injection 100ml, blood pressure monitoring and regular blood tests are important. Your doctor may also monitor your electrolyte levels to assess blood circulatory function. Additionally, they will closely track your urine output, pulse rate, blood pressure, and haemoglobin levels throughout treatment with this medicine. If you suspect you might be pregnant or breastfeeding, you must notify your doctor before taking this drug.

How it works
Human Albumin is a protein found in the blood. The liver produces albumin and plays a major role in maintaining the oncotic pressure and transporting various substances in the bloodstream. When there is excessive bleeding, significant fluid loss, or during certain medical procedures like surgery or kidney dialysis, the body may require additional albumin to replenish the lost blood or body fluids. This medicine is administered in such cases to restore and maintain the blood volume and help improve the patient's condition.
