RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Early management of congenital nephrotic syndrome invariably includes the frequent administration of intravenous human albumin solution. The safety and feasibility of intravenous administration of albumin in the patients' home setting has not previously been reported. CASE-DIAGNOSIS/TREATMENT: We report a series of seven paediatric patients whose parents were trained in the administration of albumin via a central venous catheter at home, with the aim of minimising hospital admission or attendances. We describe the clinical course of these patients and complication rates ascribed to this strategy. CONCLUSIONS: Our results demonstrate that home albumin infusion can be performed safely.
