Abstract：
OBJECTIVE:To determine the role of intravenous administration of human albumin prior to blood exchange in term neonates for reduction of total serum bilirubin (TSB). DESIGN:Randomized controlled trial. SETTING:Neonatal Unit of Nemazee Hospital, affiliated with Shiraz University of Medical Sciences, southern Iran. PATIENTS:Fifty out-born term neonates with gestation age <37 weeks, birth weight <2500 g, otherwise healthy with TSB > or =25 mg/dL requiring blood exchange due to intensive phototherapy failure. INTERVENTION:Intervention group (n=25) received intravenous human albumin 20% (1 g/kg) one hour before exchange while the control group (n=25) underwent a blood exchange. OUTCOME MEASURES:TSB level at 6 and 12 hours post-exchange, total duration of phototherapy, need for a second exchange transfusion and adverse effects. RESULTS:The mean TSB level in albumin-treated group was significantly lower than that in the control group at 6 and 12 hours post-exchange (P<0.001). Mean duration of phototherapy was significantly reduced in the albumin-treated group, compared to that in the control group (8.6+/-2.4 vs. 25+/-8.2 hours) (P<0.001). None of the neonates in albumin-treated group needed exchange transfusion again and no side effects were observed. CONCLUSION:Infusion of 20% albumin (1 g/kg) one hour prior to blood exchange can significantly reduce the post-exchange total serum bilirubin and duration of phototherapy.
