Human Albumin 20% 100ml Infusion (Human Albumin) – Plasma Protein Therapy (Rx)

Quick answer: Human Albumin 20% 100ml (human albumin) is a concentrated protein solution made from donated plasma by CSL Behring. Hospital doctors use it to restore blood volume and to correct very low albumin levels in seriously ill patients. A nurse gives it as a drip into a vein. MedHub supplies it on prescription with delivery across Pakistan.

Patient and caregiver information

What is Human Albumin 20% 100ml?

Human Albumin 20% 100ml is a bottle holding 20 grams of albumin, the main protein in your blood. Albumin works like a sponge inside the blood vessels, holding fluid in the circulation instead of letting it leak into the tissues. CSL Behring purifies it from screened human plasma in Germany and treats it to inactivate viruses. It is not a cancer medicine. It is a critical-care treatment used in wards, operating theatres and intensive care units.

What is it used for?

Doctors give albumin when the volume of blood circulating in the body has dropped and a protein-based fluid is the right choice. This can happen:

• After heavy bleeding, an accident or major surgery
• With severe burns, once the first fluids have been given
• During serious illness in intensive care, when albumin levels in the blood fall very low

The treating team decides whether you need albumin after checking your blood pressure, blood tests and fluid balance.

How is it given?

Human Albumin 20% 100ml is given by trained healthcare staff in a hospital or clinic, as an injection or infusion. Your doctor decides the dose and the treatment schedule.

Common side effects

Most people have no reaction, but some notice:

• Flushing or a warm feeling
• An itchy rash or hives
• Fever or chills
• Nausea

Tell the nurse straight away if you feel short of breath, have chest tightness, a pounding headache or swelling of the face, as these can signal an allergic reaction or too much fluid.

How does Human Albumin 20% 100ml work?

Human Albumin 20% 100ml is a solution made from albumin, the main protein in human blood, taken from donated plasma. Albumin holds water inside the blood vessels by drawing fluid towards it. When given into a vein, it pulls fluid from the tissues back into the circulation, which raises blood volume. Albumin also carries hormones, medicines and other substances around the body in the bloodstream.

What precautions should I know before using Human Albumin 20% 100ml?

Before treatment, tell your doctor about any heart failure, high blood pressure, severe anaemia, bleeding problems, kidney disease or fluid on the lungs, as extra fluid in the blood can strain the heart. Mention any past allergic reaction to albumin or other plasma products. Because it comes from human plasma, a very small chance of passing on an infection remains despite careful screening. Report straight away breathlessness, headache, chest tightness, rash or a fast heartbeat during the infusion.
