How to store human albumin? Contraindications of human albumin

Malnutrition is a common disease. Although malnutrition is not a serious illness, long-term accumulation will cause a series of problems, such as hypoproteinemia, which often occurs in major trauma or severe malnutrition. Patients are in a state of fatigue for a long time. At this time, doctors will consider giving human albumin treatment, but human albumin is a special type of drug. So how should human albumin be stored properly?

1. How to store human albumin

1. Storage temperature: Human albumin must be kept away from light and the temperature must be controlled at around 2-8 degrees. It cannot be frozen. Once it becomes ice and then thawed, the molecules in it will be destroyed and the medicinal effects it contains will be lost. This requires special attention.

2. Shelf life: The shelf life of human albumin is usually 36 months. If it exceeds this time, be sure not to use it. Not only will it have no medicinal effect, it may also cause certain damage to the body.

2. Contraindications of Human Albumin

1. Administer the drug slowly: Human albumin is mostly administered by intravenous drip. If a large dose is required, fluid replacement may be required, otherwise dehydration may occur. Be vigilant at ordinary times.

2. Pay attention to potential dangers: Human albumin is extracted from the human body. Although it will undergo certain inactivation and disinfection treatments, there are still certain potential dangers. You should be mentally prepared before use.

3. Use immediately after opening: Human albumin cannot be used in batches. Once opened, it must be used up immediately and cannot be kept for next time or given to other people for use, otherwise it will cause certain safety hazards.

4. Do not consume if there is sediment: Pay more attention to human albumin before using it. If there is sediment, it is best to change a bottle. The presence of sediment indicates that the drug has deteriorated. For the sake of drug safety, it is best not to use it.
