1. What is Human Albumin CSL Behring and what is it used for

What is Human Albumin CSL Behring

Human Albumin CSL Behring is a plasma substitute.

How Human Albumin CSL Behring works

Albumin stabilizes the volume of circulating blood. It transports hormones, enzymes, medicines, and toxins. The albumin present in Human Albumin CSL Behring comes from human plasma. Therefore, the albumin works exactly as if it were your own protein.

What Human Albumin CSL Behring is used for

Human Albumin CSL Behring is indicated for the restoration and maintenance of circulating blood volume. It is usually used in intensive care situations when your blood volume has decreased dangerously. This can occur, for example:

  • due to severe blood loss after an injury or
  • due to an extensive superficial burn

The decision to use Human Albumin CSL Behring should be made by your doctor. This will depend on your clinical situation.

Read this section carefully. The following information should be considered by you and your doctor before Human Albumin CSL Behring is administered to you.

  • If you are allergic to human albumin (hypersensitive) or to any of the other components of this medicine (listed in section 6).

Warnings and precautions

Consult your doctor or pharmacist before starting to take Human Albumin CSL Behring.

What circumstances increase the risk of suffering from side effects

Your doctor or healthcare professional will be particularly careful if an abnormal increase in blood volume (hypervolemia) or blood dilution (hemodilution) could be dangerous for you. Examples of these situations are:

  • heart failure that needs to be treated with medicines (decompensated heart failure),
  • high blood pressure (hypertension),
  • enlargement of the esophageal vein (esophageal varices),
  • abnormal accumulation of fluid in the lung (pulmonary edema),
  • predisposition to bleeding (hemorrhagic diathesis),
  • severe reduction of red blood cells or hematites in the blood (severe anemia),
  • severe reduction of urine excretion due to urination deficiency or kidney deficiency (renal and post-renal anuria).

Consult your doctor or pharmacist before treatment if you experience any of the above.

When perfusion may need to be interrupted

  • Allergic reactions (hypersensitivity reactions) may occur, which can be severe and cause shock (see section 4).

Consult your doctor or pharmacist immediately if you notice such reactions during the perfusion of Human Albumin CSL Behring. Your doctor will interrupt its administration and start the appropriate treatment.

  • If the dose and perfusion rate have not been adjusted, an abnormal increase in blood volume (hypervolemia) may occur, which can lead to an overload of the heart and circulatory system (cardiovascular overload).

The first signs of such an overload are headache and difficulty breathing or swelling of the neck veins (jugular congestion).

Consult your doctor or pharmacist immediately if you experience these symptoms. Your doctor will interrupt the treatment and control your circulation if necessary.

Viral safety

When medicines are manufactured from human blood or plasma, certain measures are taken to prevent the transmission of infections to patients. These include:

  • careful selection of blood and plasma donors to ensure that donors with a risk of being carriers of infections are excluded,
  • analysis of each individual donation and plasma pools for signs of viruses and infections,
  • inclusion of steps in the processing of blood or plasma that can inactivate or eliminate viruses.

Despite these measures, when medicines obtained from human blood or plasma are administered, it cannot be completely excluded that the possibility of transmitting infections. This applies to emerging or unknown viruses and other types of infections.

There are no reports of viral infections with albumin manufactured according to the requirements of the European Pharmacopoeia and according to established processes.

It is strongly recommended that each time you are administered a dose of Human Albumin CSL Behring, the name and batch number of the product be recorded to maintain a record of the batches used.

3. How to use Human Albumin CSL Behring

Human Albumin CSL Behring should be administered by your doctor. Human Albumin CSL Behring is intended for intravenous infusion only.

Your doctor will decide how much Human Albumin CSL Behring you should be given. The amount and rate of infusion depend on your individual needs.

Your doctor will regularly check important blood flow values such as:

  • your blood pressure,
  • your pulse, or
  • your urine production (diuresis),

These values are checked to determine the correct dose and infusion rate.

If you use more Human Albumin CSL Behring than you should

In case of overdose, consult your doctor or call the Toxicology Information Service, phone 91 562 04 20, indicating the medicine and the amount used.

Human Albumin CSL Behring is only administered under medical supervision. Therefore, it is very unlikely that you will be given an overdose. You may experience an abnormal increase in blood volume (hypervolemia) if the dose and infusion rate are too high, which can lead to an overload of the heart and circulatory system (cardiovascular overload).

The first symptoms of such an overload are:

  • headache,
  • difficulty breathing, or
  • swelling of the neck veins (jugular congestion).

If you notice these symptoms, please inform your doctor immediately.

Additionally, your doctor may detect symptoms such as

  • higher blood pressure,
  • increased central venous pressure, or
  • abnormal accumulation of fluid in the lung (pulmonary edema).

In all these cases, your doctor will stop the infusion and control your circulation if necessary.
