This may represent a Teutonic viewpoint, but not so an international one. It is still unclear whether the more modern HES products are, like their forbears, associated with more acute kidney injury than albumin or crystalloid fluid replacement.

During the manufacture process, there are viral inactivation and pathogen reduction strategies to minimise further the risk of viral transmission. Despite these measures, such products may still potentially transmit viral infection and theoretically Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease. The Royal Children's Hospital Melbourne.

Albumin Administration. Albumin Administration Albumin human prescription and administration guideline This document guides how to prescribe, order, administer and manage patients receiving intravenous albumin at the RCH Description Albumin is manufactured from human plasma.
Administration and documentation Two clinicians must independently complete the patient and blood product identification check at the bedside. Albumin is packed in a glass bottle and must be vented during use. Reactions Adverse reactions to albumin solutions are usually mild and transient. For this medicine, the following should be considered:. Tell your doctor if you have ever had any unusual or allergic reaction to this medicine or any other medicines.
Also tell your health care professional if you have any other types of allergies, such as to foods, dyes, preservatives, or animals. For non-prescription products, read the label or package ingredients carefully. Appropriate studies performed to date have not demonstrated pediatric-specific problems that would limit the usefulness of albumin human injection in children, given that the dose is appropriate for the body weight.
Safety and efficacy have been established. No information is available on the relationship of age to the effects of albumin human injection in geriatric patients. There are no adequate studies in women for determining infant risk when using this medication during breastfeeding. Weigh the potential benefits against the potential risks before taking this medication while breastfeeding. Although certain medicines should not be used together at all, in other cases two different medicines may be used together even if an interaction might occur.
In these cases, your doctor may want to change the dose, or other precautions may be necessary. Tell your healthcare professional if you are taking any other prescription or nonprescription over-the-counter [OTC] medicine. Certain medicines should not be used at or around the time of eating food or eating certain types of food since interactions may occur.
Using alcohol or tobacco with certain medicines may also cause interactions to occur. Stabilizers are present but preservatives are not commonly included.
Viral inactivation processes occur during the fractionation process. Normal albumin solutions are clear, slightly viscous fluids that range in colour from almost colorless to pale yellow, amber or green. See Table 1 for a list of albumin preparations available through Canadian Blood Services.
In , the University Hospital Consortium in the United States developed the first consensus statement on indications for albumin use. Two Canadian British Columbia and Ontario recommendations are published on the respective provincial websites. The volume and rate of infusion should be determined by the clinical situation.
Suggested albumin doses are indicated in Table 2. Albumin must not be diluted with hypotonic solutions such as sterile water for injection, as it may lead to severe hemolysis. See Table 1 for storage temperatures for the various albumin preparations available through Canadian Blood Services. The shelf life ranges from two to five years depending on the manufacturing process. An expiry date is stated on each package and the expiration date of each unit should be checked prior to administration.
Alternatives to albumin therapy include other colloid solutions and crystalloids. Generally, plasma volume-expanding therapeutic agents used clinically can be classified into three broad categories:. The advantages of crystalloid therapy over most colloid solutions include decreased expense, increased urine output and a simpler chemical structure that is easily metabolized and excreted. The disadvantages of crystalloids are primarily seen in situations requiring large volumes for clinical resuscitation, which may lead to peripheral and pulmonary edema, and a potential for hyperchloremia in patients with renal dysfunction.
Colloids differ from crystalloids in that they have an increased ability to hold water in the intravascular compartment. If there is normal membrane permeability, colloids do not enter interstitial or intracellular compartments and may preferentially increase plasma volume.
