Albumin 20 % Infusion 100 Ml

Albumin 20% Infusion is primarily used to manage hypovolaemia, a condition characterised by decreased blood volume due to fluid loss or inadequate fluid intake, and related conditions in adults.

Uses of Albumin 20% Infusion are:

• Hypoproteinaemia: Increases blood protein levels in individuals with low protein levels caused by liver disease, malnutrition, or chronic kidney disease.
• Burns: Helps restore blood volume and prevent hypovolaemia in patients who have lost significant amounts of fluid due to burn injuries.
• Liver Disease and Nephrotic Syndrome: Increases albumin levels and improves overall liver or kidney function.
• Ascites and Haemorrhagic Shock: Helps manage fluid accumulation in the abdomen and restores blood volume in cases of severe bleeding.
• Surgical Support: Used during cardiopulmonary bypass surgery and plasmapheresis to maintain blood volume.

• 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.
