ALBUMIN (al BYOO min) treats low blood volume, which may occur with severe dehydration or bleeding. It works by increasing blood volume so your heart can pump blood to the rest of your body. It may also be used to treat low albumin levels caused by surgery, infection, or other health conditions. Albumin is a protein that helps your body balance the level of fluid in your blood vessels. This helps maintain a healthy blood pressure and prevents swelling or edema.
