<p><strong>Shock:</strong>&nbsp;Albumin&nbsp;is indicated in the emergency treatment of shock and in other similar conditions where the restoration of blood volume is urgent. If there has been considerable loss of&nbsp;red blood cells,&nbsp;transfusion&nbsp;with packed red blood cells is indicated.<br />
<br />
<strong>Burns:</strong>&nbsp;Albumin or Albumin in either normal saline or dextrose is indicated to prevent marked hemoconcentration and to maintain appropriate&nbsp;electrolyte&nbsp;balance.<br />
<br />
<strong>Hypoproteinemia with or without edema:</strong>&nbsp;Albumin is indicated in those clinical situations usually associated with a low concentration of&nbsp;plasma&nbsp;protein&nbsp;and a resulting decreased circulating blood volume. Although&nbsp;diuresis&nbsp;may occur soon after albumin administration has been instituted, best results are obtained if albumin is continued until the normal serum protein level is regained.</p>
