Albumin is an essential protein found in blood plasma, playing important roles in maintaining oncotic pressure and transporting substances such as hormones, vitamins, and drugs. It is used in various medical applications, including the treatment of hypovolemia and hypoalbuminemia.

In medical practice, albumin is administered as an injectable solution, typically in cases of shock, severe burns, or liver conditions. It is also used to support critically ill patients.

Side effects are rare but may include allergic reactions, fever, or changes in blood pressure. In very rare cases, severe reactions such as anaphylactic shock may occur.

Patients should be closely monitored during administration, and the doctor should be informed of any allergies or pre-existing conditions. Administration should be performed according to medical guidelines.
