What is blood plasma?
Blood consists of RBC, WBC, platelets and plasma. Plasma is the often forgotten part of blood. Apart from other parts of blood plasma too plays important role.
Blood plasma is a yellowish liquid that holds blood cells and proteins in suspension and carry them throughout the body.
Plasma is the largest part of blood. It makes up more than half(about 55%) of its overall content. Plasma carries water, salts and enzymes.
Plasma is a critical part of the treatment for many serious health problems. This is the reason, donation of blood is highly appreciated. Apart from water, salt and enzymes, plasma contains antibodies, clotting factors and proteins albumin and fibrinogen.

These products can be used in treatments that can help save the lives of people suffering from burns, shocks and other medical emergencies.
