Drug introduction

Albumin is an important protein produced primarily by the liver that transports various substances in the body and maintains pressure and pH in the blood. In Hong Kong, albumin is commonly used to treat hypoalbuminemia, such as protein loss caused by cirrhosis or renal insufficiency. In addition, albumin can be used to support recovery from surgery, burn treatment, and the treatment of certain diseases. Albumin is a safe and effective drug that is usually given as an intravenous injection. When using albumin, patients should pay close attention to symptoms of allergic reactions, such as difficulty breathing or reddened skin. Additionally, physicians should determine the appropriate dosage and frequency based on the patient's specific circumstances and needs. If you have any questions or discomfort, you should check with your doctor immediately.

Dosing Guidelines: The starting dose for adult patients is usually 3 to 5 grams, depending on the severity of the condition. Dosage may be adjusted based on the patient's weight and protein level.
