What is the exact purpose of giving albumin with lasix?

Combining intravenous albumin with lasix is often used to treat accumulation of fluid in the abdomen or tissues as is often seen in patients with cirrhosis of the liver or after major abdominal surgery (ascites and pedal edema). Albumin remains in the circulation for a while and increases the plasma osmotic pressure, helping to draw fluid back into the circulation from wherever it is accumulating. Lasix helps to get rid of the fluid in the urine.

I'm not exactly sure, but I do know that when you take medicine, it binds to protein, specifically albumin. So, if a person, say, an elderly person, has low albumin and is taking lasix, they may supplement the albumin so the lasix has something to bind to so it is not all excreted and thus ineffective. I've never heard of supplementing albumin, but I'm also only in my first sem. of nursing school. ;) I could also be totally wrong, lol!

My breed was created just to keep me waiting on them!!!. Seriously, they are considered one of the oldest, if not the oldest ancient breed. They have DNA of the same era as the wolf and coyote.(30,000 to 150,000 years ago) They appear to be a 'natural dog' and are called by the natives of their origins, as Noah's dog, as they have been around as long as their known history. So, what were they bred for? Well, they were used to hunt. I'm not sure that they were officially 'bred'. They hunted gazelle and leopard.. They were also herding dogs, and still have strong herding instincts. They were never fed by their masters, but set loose to hunt at night, for their own sustenance. They were sheared each year, at the same time as the flocks, and their hair was used to make headwear and underwear, as it was softer than wool, and had no odor when wet. An interesting fact, that has kept the breed pure over the many generations. The females will rarely breed with another breed. Other breeds don't recognize their pheromones, and the females show no interest in any other male dog. Many females are loyal to their first mate, and won't mate with a dog who is a stranger. The only time you get a mixed breed, is if the two were raised together ( pack) or an occasional wondering male. Currently, they are used for predator control and the sport of lurecoursing...and teaching their owners patience!
