Pharmacology
Albumin (Human) is a plasma protein that exerts oncotic (colloid osmotic) pressure, expanding plasma volume by drawing fluid from extravascular tissues; it also functions as a transport protein capable of binding substances such as bilirubin.
Furosemide is a loop diuretic that primarily inhibits sodium and chloride reabsorption in the proximal and distal tubules and the loop of Henle, producing high-degree diuresis independent of carbonic anhydrase inhibition or aldosterone.
