Alburel 20% Injection 50ml

About

Human Albumin 20% Injection is a sterile solution of human albumin, a vital protein derived from human plasma. It functions primarily as a potent plasma volume expander and a crucial carrier protein within the circulatory system. This hyperoncotic solution effectively restores circulating blood volume and maintains oncotic pressure, drawing excess fluid from the interstitial space back into the intravascular compartment. Albumin is essential for regulating fluid balance, transporting a wide array of substances including hormones, enzymes, drugs, and toxins, and stabilizing blood pressure. The 20% concentration is particularly indicated in clinical scenarios demanding significant volume expansion with a relatively small fluid load, such as severe hypoalbuminemia, various forms of shock, and during specific surgical interventions. Its therapeutic action is pivotal in preventing and treating conditions associated with critically low blood volume or albumin levels, thereby supporting overall cardiovascular stability and ensuring adequate organ perfusion.
