[Results of a preliminary study of the quality of Yugoslav human albumin preparations for therapeutic use].

The quality of human albumin preparations has been tested of 20 bottles of the Yugoslav and 8 bottles of foreign production. The criteria for quality evaluation have been based mainly on the standards of human albumin of the British pharmacopoeia. Of domestic preparations the best quality showed those obtained by application of chromatographic methods of albumin isolation. Although preliminary studies of a smaller number of samples are in question it is considered that the following measures should be undertaken: a) to issue the Yugoslav criteria for human albumin preparations for therapeutical application, b) to introduce chapters on human albumin into the Yugoslav pharmacopoeia, and, c) to bring regulations for production, putting on sale and therapeutical application of human albumin preparations.
