Human nanocolloidal albumin is used in medical imaging, particularly in lymph node scintigraphy and other structures. It contains modified human albumin particles to facilitate the visualization of lymphatic structures through nuclear medicine techniques.
It is administered via subcutaneous or intradermal injection under the supervision of a specialist. Nanocolloidal albumin is commonly used for sentinel lymph node localization in cases of cancer, such as breast cancer or melanoma.
Side effects are rare but may include local reactions at the injection site, such as redness or swelling. In very rare cases, severe allergic reactions may occur.
Patients should inform their doctor about any allergies or conditions before administration. It is important that the procedure is performed by a qualified specialist to ensure safety and effectiveness.
