Unlike donor's albumin, placental albumin preparations contain an appreciable amount of alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) which is likely to make difficult the differential diagnosis of AFP-producing tumors. On the other hand, AFP may play the role of the protein blank sample of albumin administered to the patient.
