Albumin 20 % Infusion 100 ML

Albumin 20% Infusion 100 ml is primarily used to manage hypovolemia, a condition characterised by decreased blood volume due to fluid loss or inadequate fluid intake. It is also used for various other conditions as follows:

• Hypoproteinemia: Albumin 20% Infusion 100 ml is used to increase the blood protein levels in individuals with hypoproteinemia, which is characterised by low protein levels in the blood. This can be caused by various factors such as liver disease, malnutrition, and chronic kidney disease.
• Burns: Albumin 20% Infusion 100 ml is used to manage burns, particularly in cases where the patient has lost a significant amount of fluid due to the burn injury. It helps to restore blood volume and prevent hypovolemia.
• Liver disease: Individuals with liver disease, such as cirrhosis, may experience low levels of albumin in the blood. Albumin 20% Infusion 100 ml increases albumin levels and improves overall liver function.
• Nephrotic syndrome: Nephrotic syndrome is a kidney disorder that results in the loss of protein in the urine. Albumin 20% Infusion 100 ml replaces the lost protein and improves overall kidney function.
• Ascites: Ascites is a condition characterised by fluid accumulation in the abdominal cavity. Albumin 20% Infusion 100 ml is used to manage ascites by increasing the albumin levels in the blood and improving fluid balance.
• Hemorrhagic shock: Albumin 20% Infusion 100 ml is used to manage hemorrhagic shock, a life-threatening condition characterised by severe bleeding and hypovolemia. It helps to restore blood volume and prevent organ damage.
• Cardiopulmonary bypass surgery: Albumin 20% Infusion 100 ml is used during cardiopulmonary bypass surgery to maintain blood volume and prevent hypovolemia.
• Plasmapheresis: Plasmapheresis is a medical procedure involving removing the plasma from the blood. Albumin 20% Infusion 100 ml replaces the removed plasma and maintains blood volume.

It is important to note that albumin injection should be based on individual patient needs and as directed by a healthcare professional.

• It is essential to note that a trained healthcare professional must administer Albumin 20% Infusion 100 ml intravenously. 
• It is not recommended to attempt self-administration, as it carries potential risks and complications. 
• Please follow medical advice and direction for safe and effective treatment.

Albumin 20% Infusion 100 ml is administered intravenously (IV).

• Albumin is a protein naturally present in the human body and primarily produced by the liver. The mechanism of action of albumin injection is based on its physiological properties and molecular interactions in the body.
• Albumin 20% Infusion 100 ml has multiple bodily functions, including maintaining oncotic pressure, transporting molecules, binding and carrying drugs, and providing antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Albumin is the most abundant plasma protein in the human body, and it plays a crucial role in maintaining fluid balance within tissues.
• In the blood vessels, albumin helps to maintain the oncotic pressure, which is the pressure that keeps fluid inside the blood vessels. This pressure is essential for preventing fluid from leaking into the tissues, which can cause swelling and oedema. Albumin also binds to and transports hormones, fatty acids, and drugs, helping to regulate their distribution and availability in the body.
• Albumin has antioxidant properties and can scavenge free radicals in the body, preventing oxidative damage to cells and tissues. It also has anti-inflammatory properties and can bind to cytokines and other inflammatory molecules, helping to reduce inflammation in the body.
• On the molecular level, albumin binds to other molecules through its surface-exposed amino acid residues. For example, albumin can bind to fatty acids, bilirubin, and drugs through specific binding sites on its surface. Albumin's flexible structure allows it to undergo conformational changes in response to pH, temperature, and other environmental factors.
• Overall, albumin's molecular interactions and physiological properties play a critical role in maintaining fluid balance, transporting molecules, providing antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, and supporting overall health and well-being.

• Albumin 20% Infusion 100 ml should be stored between 2°C and 8°C (36°F and 46°F) and should not be frozen.
• It should be protected from light and not be used beyond the expiration date printed on the packaging.
• Once the packaging is opened, the infusion should be used immediately and not stored for later use.

• Eat a protein-rich diet, such as lean meats, poultry, fish, eggs, dairy products, beans, lentils, and nuts.
• Limit the intake of processed and packaged foods.
• Avoid alcohol and smoking.
• Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water and other fluids.
• Get enough rest and avoid physical exertion.
