Mode of Action

How Does It Work?

Albudac 20% injection or infusion is composed of Human albumin. Albumin is a type of protein made by the liver. It helps keep fluid in the bloodstream, so it does not leak into the adjacent tissues. It also carries different substances throughout the body, such as hormones, vitamins, enzymes, etc. Low albumin levels can indicate a liver or kidney disorder, or there is a recent fluid loss. Human albumin is prepared from large amounts of human plasma. When it is administered, albumin increases the oncotic pressure of the blood or vascular system. It helps in pulling fluids from the space between the tissues, which can decrease oedema and increase the circulating blood volume.
