CLINICIAN'S GUIDELINES<br />

Indications <strong>for</strong> 25% albumin<br />

• Severe Hypoproteinemia in acute nephritic syndrome & acute liver disease<br />

Dosage : Adults 100-400 ml daily<br />

: Children 1.5-6 ml/kg body weight in 24 hrs<br />

• Hyperbilirubinemia in newborn: 5-10 ml of salt poor albumin is given along with blood <strong>for</strong> exchange<br />

transfusion. It binds to excessive bilirubin and reduce incidence of kernicterus.<br />

• Toxemia of pregnancy: 50 ml of salt poor albumin given daily.<br />

Contraindications • Febrile reaction.<br />

• Hypoproteinemia in malnutrition. • Hypotension due to vasoactive substances from<br />

• Chronic nephritic syndrome.<br />

plasma.<br />

• Cirrhosis.<br />

PLASMA SUBSTITUTES<br />

Infection risk<br />

Those designed to provide colloid osmotic pressure<br />

No risk of transmission of viral infections if correctly or expand volume i.e. crystalloid and colloid.<br />

manufactured<br />

Administration<br />

Those able to transport oxygen i.e. perflouro -<br />

compounds and encapsulated hemoglobin.<br />

No compatibility testing required. Colloid Solutions (Table 2.)<br />

No filter required. 1. Dextrans: They are mixtures of polysaccharide<br />

molecules of different molecular weights i.e.<br />

Adverse Effects<br />

Dextran 40 and Dextran 70.<br />

• Urticaria and Anaphylactic reaction.<br />

2. Hydroxyethyl starch 450.<br />

• Circulatory overload.<br />

3. Gelatin.<br />

TABLE 2 : COLLOID SOLUTIONS<br />
