Human albumin is a natural protein found in the blood, commonly used in medical settings to treat hypovolemia, hypoalbuminemia, or other conditions requiring plasma volume restoration. It is derived from human plasma and is available as an injectable solution.

It is used in cases of severe burns, hypovolemic shock, nephrotic syndrome, or liver cirrhosis. Albumin helps maintain oncotic pressure and transport substances in the blood.

Side effects are rare but may include allergic reactions, fever, or increased 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. It is important that albumin is administered according to medical guidelines.
