Albumin in Albutein Injection replenishes blood or body fluids lost during significant blood loss in specific circumstances.

Albutein 20% is a sterile solution containing 20% human albumin (weight/volume) for single-dose intravenous administration. Made from pooled human plasma via cold alcohol fractionation, it's stabilized with sodium caprylate and sodium acetyl tryptophanate per protein gram. Human albumin 20% has about four times the colloid osmotic effect of regular plasma, with 130-160 milliequivalents of sodium ion per liter. The solution contains less than 200 micrograms of aluminum per liter during its shelf life and no preservatives.

Albutein 20%  is derived from plasma collected at FDA-approved plasmapheresis centers in the U.S. Virus transmission risk is mitigated through heating at 60°C for ten hours.
