The maximum amount of albumin that can be administered per day depends on the individual's body weight. According to the reference, the daily dose should not exceed 2 g of ALBUMIN (HUMAN) 20% per kg of body weight.
Here's a breakdown:
- Maximum Daily Dose: 2 g of Albumin (Human) 20% per kg of body weight.
Example Calculation
Let's consider a person weighing 70 kg:
- Maximum Albumin Dose = 2 g/kg * 70 kg = 140 g
Therefore, for a 70 kg individual, the maximum daily dose of albumin would be 140g.
Important Considerations
- Adult Dosing: In adults, an intravenous infusion of 25 g is initially given. If there isn't adequate stabilization of circulation within 15 to 30 minutes, another dose may be administered.
*This dosing is based on ALBUMIN (HUMAN) 20%.
