Human albumin is a natural plasma protein responsible for maintaining oncotic pressure and transporting substances in the blood. When infused, it helps restore plasma volume, stabilizes circulation, and supports proper fluid distribution. It is used in cases of hypoalbuminemia, shock, hypovolemia, and as supportive therapy during dialysis or major surgeries.
