Hypoproteinaemia in the acutely ill patient - Albapure 20 is administered when there are existing or anticipated clinical problems or complications from reduced oncotic pressure, and/or as an adjunct to diuretic therapy. Shock - Albapure 20 may be used for the resuscitation of patients in shock due to acute loss of blood or plasma. Severe Burns - Extensive burns are followed by sequential shifts in the distribution of body water, salt and proteins, resulting in hypovolaemic shock and circulatory failure. Iso-oncotic albumin solution is the preferred replacement material. If the patient's serum albumin level is not maintained, concentrated albumin (20%) may be indicated. If exchange occurs less frequently than once a week, less concentrated colloids may be appropriate.
