A blood product is any therapeutic substance prepared from human blood. [1] This includes whole blood ; blood components; and plasma derivatives. Blood components include: red blood cell concentrates or suspensions; platelets produced from whole blood or via apheresis; Granulocyte , plasma ; and cryoprecipitate .
Preparation of serum cups for a lipids panel designed to test cholesterol levels in a patient's blood. Serum (/ ˈ s ɪər ə m /) is the fluid and solvent component of blood which does not play a role in clotting. [1] It may be defined as blood plasma without the clotting factors, or as blood with all
Whole blood (WB) is human blood from a standard blood donation. [1] It is used in the treatment of massive bleeding , in exchange transfusion , and when people donate blood to themselves . [ 1 ] [ 2 ] One unit of whole blood (approximately 450 mL) brings up hemoglobin levels by about 10 g/L. [ 3 ] [ 4 ] Cross matching is typically done before ...
Blood fractionation is the process of fractionating whole blood, or separating it into its component parts. This is typically done by centrifuging the blood. The resulting components are: a clear solution of blood plasma in the upper phase (which can be separated into its own fractions, see Blood plasma fractionation), the buffy coat, which is ...
Blood plasma is the liquid component of whole blood, and makes up approximately 55% of the total blood volume. It is composed primarily of water with small amounts of minerals, salts, ions, nutrients, and proteins in solution. In whole blood, red blood cells, leukocytes, and platelets are suspended within the plasma. [citation needed]
Blood is composed of blood cells suspended in blood plasma. Plasma, which constitutes 55% of blood fluid, is mostly water (92% by volume), [2] and contains proteins, glucose, mineral ions, and hormones. The blood cells are mainly red blood cells (erythrocytes), white blood cells (leukocytes), and (in mammals) platelets (thrombocytes). [3]
Fresh frozen plasma (FFP) is a blood product made from the liquid portion of whole blood. [3] It is used to treat conditions in which there are low blood clotting factors (INR > 1.5) or low levels of other blood proteins. [3] [1] It may also be used as the replacement fluid in plasma exchange.
