Plasmanate:

   
   

290 mOsm/L.  Plasmanate is a 5% solution that includes a variety of plasma proteins including 44g/L of Albumin.  It is made from human plasma, is expensive and carries risks similar to pooled blood products.  It must be given at a rate of less than 10cc/min to prevent hypotension (I have no idea why, but it’s a fact).
