PHARMACOTHERAPEUTICAL CATEGORY
Solution of human albumin.
THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS
Albumin replacement in patients with major albumin deficiency.
CONTRAINDICATIONS
• Hypersensitivity to human albumin preparations or to any of the
excipients.
• Allergic reactions to this preparation.
• All conditions in which hypervolaemia and its consequences (e.g.
increased stroke volume, elevated blood pressure) or
haemodilution could represent a risk for
the patient.
Examples of such conditions are:
- Decompensated cardiac insufficiency
- Hypertension
- Oesophageal varices
- Pulmonary oedema
- Haemorrhagic diathesis
- Severe anaemia
- Renal and post-renal anuria
- Dehydration (unless sufficient fluid is infused simultaneously).
SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS FOR USE
If allergic reactions occur, the infusion should be stopped
immediately. If allergic reactions persist, then appropriate
treatment is recommended. In anaphylactic reactions, treatment should
follow the current recommendations for shock
therapy. The colloid-osmotic effect of human albumin 20% is
approximately four times that of blood plasma.
Therefore, when concentrated albumin is administered, care must be
taken to assure adequate hydration of the patient.
Patients should be monitored carefully to guard against circulatory
overload and hyperhydration.
If the required volume of Human Albumin (Kedrialb) 20% exceeds 200 mL,
appropriate additional electrolyte solutions
should be administered to maintain normal fluid balance.
Alternatively, therapy may be continued with 5% human albumin
