- Subject, parent or guardian has signed the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) authorization.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Intra-operative blood loss > 50 mL/kg.
- Severe hypoalbuminemia with serum albumin levels < 1g/dL.
- Known intolerance or allergy to albumin and/or plasma proteins.
- Preterm neonates, defined as neonates with a gestational age of <37 weeks (this criteria would only affect the 0-28 days group).
- Burn and trauma patients.
- Renal surgery.
- Subjects with acute CNS injury or trauma would be excluded from the study.
- Chronic renal insufficiency or acute renal failure (creatinine > 1.5 of normal value or based on age-appropriate renal function parameters), or a history of renal transplantation.
- Subjects with hypernatremia, defined as a Na level of ≥ 155 mEq/L.
- Severe congestive heart failure (CHF) using one of the following classification systems: Ross Heart Failure Classification, modified Ross Heart Failure Classification, or New York University Pediatric Heart Failure Index (NYU PHFI).
- Any concurrent medical, surgical or psychiatric condition that may, in the Investigator's opinion, affect the subject's ability to meet the protocol requirements.

Placebo Comparator
Kedbumin 25%
Normal Saline Solution
Albumin (Human) 25% solution for intravenous (IV) infusion in the dosage strength of 250g/L human albumin, supplied in 50 mL type II vial (each vial containing 12.5g human albumin). The dose will be 0.5 to 1g/kg body weight (2 to 4 mL/kg of 25% albumin). The duration of treatment is based on the subject's response to treatment until hemodynamic stability is achieved. If hemodynamic stability is not achieved within 72 hours of starting the study treatment, the subject will be withdrawn from the study and will be treated according to standard practice and data collected during the study period will be used for the safety evaluation.
Normal (0.9%) saline solution administered via IV infusions of 10 to 20 mL/kg as appropriate per standard of care based on the subject's clinical status and response to treatment.
