Albuman 200 g/l – Crealb 200 g/l
Albuman is an human albumin solution.
Albumin is a normal constituent of blood plasma and plays an important role in maintaining the volume of circulating blood. Albumin helps retain fluid within the blood vessels and contributes to maintaining an adequate circulating blood volume.
