What is Plasbumin-5 (human)?

Albumin is a protein produced by the liver that circulates in plasma (the clear liquid portion of your blood). Medicinal albumin is made of plasma proteins from human blood. Plasbumin-5 works by increasing plasma volume or levels of albumin in the blood.

Albumin is used to replace blood volume loss resulting from trauma such as a severe burns or an injury that causes blood loss. This medicine is also used to treat low albumin levels caused by surgery, dialysis, abdominal infections, liver failure, pancreatitis, respiratory distress, bypass surgery, ovarian problems caused by fertility drugs, and other many other conditions.

Albumin may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.

Warnings

You should not receive albumin if you have severe anemia (lack of red blood cells), or severe heart failure.

How should I use Plasbumin-5 (human)

Albumin is injected into a vein through an IV. A healthcare provider will give you this injection.

Your breathing, pulse, blood pressure, electrolyte levels, kidney function, and other vital signs will be watched closely while you are receiving albumin. Your blood will also need to be tested regularly during treatment.

Drink plenty of liquids while you are being treated with albumin.
