Summary	To reduce waste and use albumin properly in our hospital, the Hospital Transfusion Committee committed to enforcing the switching of 25% albumin formulation to 20% formulation. After this change, although 25% formulation accounted for a dominant 72.8%(20,375g) of hypertonic albumin products in year 2008, 20% formulation accounted for 77.8% (16,190g) of hypertonic albumin in 2014, which led to a reduction of 10,507.5g of total albumin.
