1. hypersensitivity to albumin or any component of the formulation
2. severe anemia or cardiac failure with normal or increased intravascular volume
3. patients at risk of volume overload
懷孕分類
C, should be given to a pregnant woman only if clearly needed.
哺乳分類
Endogenous albumin is present in breast milk.
According to the manufacturer, the decision to breastfeed during therapy should consider the risk of infant exposure, the benefits of breastfeeding to the infant, and benefits of treatment to the mother.
Cirrhotic ascites, therapeutic large volume paracentesis (adjunctive agent):
- 25% albumin: IV: 6 to 8 g for every liter removed or 50 g total for paracentesis >5 L.
- Note: Administer at the time of or soon after the procedure to avoid paracentesis complications (eg, hypovolemia, hyponatremia, kidney impairment).
- Note: Used before or in combination with norepinephrine, terlipressin, or midodrine plus octreotide.
- 25% albumin: IV: Initial: 1 g/kg daily for 2 days (maximum: 100 g/day), followed by 20 to 50 g daily until clinical outcome is achieved.
Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome, severe (treatment) (alternative agent):
- Note: In general, albumin is an alternative to IV crystalloid therapy in patients who are critically ill and volume depleted; current evidence indicated no added benefit for the wider population of critically ill patients.
- 25% albumin: IV: 50 to 100 g over 4 hours; repeat at 4- to 12-hour intervals as needed.
Plasma exchange, therapeutic:
5% albumin: IV: Titrate dose to plasma volume removed during procedure.
- Note:
Some experts reserve for patients with existing kidney or severe hepatic impairment (eg, creatinine >1 mg/dL, BUN >30 mg/dL, or bilirubin >4 mg/dL).
- 25% albumin:
IV: Initial: 1.5 g/kg within 6 hours of diagnosis in combination with appropriate antimicrobial therapy, followed by 1 g/kg on day 3 ; a possible alternative dose is 1 g/kg once daily for 2 days but it is not well studied . While the maximum albumin dose varies in clinical practice, some suggest not exceeding 100 g per dose.

Ascites with hypoalbuminemia:
Limited data available: Infants, Children, and Adolescents: 25% albumin: IV: 0.5 to 1 g/kg/dose over 2 to 3 hours; may repeat up to 3 times per day until albumin is >2.5 g/dL; maximum dose: 25 g/dose.
Hypovolemia, plasma volume expansion, including hypovolemic shock:
Infants, Children, and Adolescents: 5% albumin: IV: 0.5 to 1 g/kg/dose (10 to 20 mL/kg/dose) over 5 to 10 minutes.May repeat after 15 to 30 minutes if response is not adequate.
Large volume paracentesis:
Limited data available: Infants, Children, and Adolescents: 5% or 25% albumin: IV: 0.5 to 1 g/kg over 1 to 2 hours after paracentesis.
Nephrotic syndrome edema, refractory:
Infants, Children, and Adolescents: 25% albumin: IV: 0.5 to 1 g/kg/dose over 30 to 60 minutes followed by diuretic therapy.
