Albumin levels can rise when a person is dehydrated. This is a relative increase that occurs as the volume of plasma decreases. Medicinal albumin is made of plasma proteins from human blood. This medicine works by increasing plasma volume or levels of albumin in the blood. Albumin is used to replace blood volume loss resulting from trauma such as a severe burns or an injury that causes blood loss. Based on our experience, the home albumin infusion therapy program implemented at our hospital is safe and effective.
Background: Oedema is a common clinical symptom in people with nephrotic syndrome and human albumin has been widely used in the treatment of oedema by increasing vascular volume and this inducing diuresis. It may be used with or without diuretics such as furosemide.

Albumin solutions have a plasma half-life of 16 to 24 hours and a duration of volume expansion of 12 to 24 hours.
