Albert Hustin (1882–1967) was a Belgian medical doctor.

Hustin was born in Ethe and died in Uccle (Uccle Brussels – Belgium).

In 1914, he was the first person to successfully practice non-direct blood transfusions with sodium citrate used as an anticoagulant.[1] He added sodium citrate and glucose to the blood to preserve it, and stop it from clotting.[2]
