Albumin (Human and Canine)
別名: Albuminar, Albutein, Buminate, Plasbumin, Flexbumin
- **Hospitalization Required:** This medication must be administered in an inpatient, intensive care setting under strict veterinary supervision. - **Risks vs. Benefits:** While albumin can be life-saving by improving blood pressure and reducing fluid buildup, the use of human albumin in pets carries a significant risk of severe allergic reactions. - **Delayed Reactions:** Be aware that adverse reactions (like lethargy, joint pain, or swelling) can occur days to weeks after your pet goes home. Contact your veterinarian immediately if you notice any abnormal signs. - **Cost:** Treatment can be expensive and requires intensive monitoring.
劑量必須由獸醫按你寵物的個別情況決定。切勿在沒有獸醫指導下給予人類藥物或其他寵物的處方藥。
用途
- Refractory hypotension or severe hypoalbuminemia (using 25% Human Albumin)
- Marked hypoalbuminemia (using 10% Human Albumin)
- Hypovolemic shock or hypoalbuminemia (using Canine Albumin 5g lyophilized)
給藥方式
可能的副作用
- Immediate hypersensitivity (anaphylaxis, facial edema, vomiting, urticaria, hyperthermia, shock)
- Delayed hypersensitivity / Type III serum sickness (lethargy, lameness, peripheral edema, cutaneous lesions/vasculitis, renal failure, coagulopathies)
- Volume overload
- Diarrhea
- Tremors
- Perivascular inflammation at catheter sites
注意事項與禁忌
- History of hypersensitivity to albumin (human or canine)
- Repeat administration of xeno-albumin (human albumin in dogs) beyond 7 days
- Healthy animals with simple volume depletion (avoid xeno-albumin)
- Pre-existing conditions resulting in volume overload
- Severe anemia or extreme dehydration (unless concurrent RBCs or appropriate crystalloid fluids are administered first)
- **Extreme Caution Required:** Thoughtful consideration must be taken when deciding to administer human albumin to critically ill dogs due to the high risk of complications. * **Hypersensitivity:** Both immediate (anaphylactoid) and delayed (Type III/serum sickness) reactions can occur and have been fatal. * **Monitoring:** Frequent monitoring of vital signs, oncotic pressure, and albumin levels is mandatory. * **Infectious Agents:** While risk is low, transmission of infectious agents from pooled albumin products is theoretically possible.
藥物相互作用
- Highly protein-bound drugs: Exogenous albumin may bind to these drugs, potentially affecting the amount of free (active) drug circulating, though this rarely appears to be clinically significant.
