Human albumin is a major plasma protein that is derived through biotechnology processes. Albutein is a sophisticated supplement that contains human albumin at different concentrations to increase intravascular volume for indications like hypovolemic shock, hypoalbuminemia, and hypoproteinemic edema. It is given intravenously at doses ranging from 2g/kg of body weight to 25g/day depending on the condition. Albutein is generally safe but may cause allergic reactions or other side effects and interacts with some other products.
