Abstract
A total of 53 infants undergoing exchange transfusion for hyperbilirubinemia were divided into 2 albumin-treated groups, and a control group. One group received a total of about 20 g human albumin intravenously during the course of exchange; a significant increase in bilirubin removal resulted. The other group received a "priming" dose of about 1.75 g/kg albumin intravenously 1-6 hr. before exchange; no significant increase in bilirubin removal resulted.Keywords
