Overview

Blood Plasma is the pale yellow liquid component of human blood that carries red and white blood cells, platelets, and other key components throughout the body. It is the largest component of human blood, making up approximately 55% of total blood volume. Blood plasma plays an important role in the body's defense system and homeostasis, as it is responsible for transporting hormones, nutrients, and antibodies. Furthermore, it is also critical for maintaining the body's pH balance, electrolyte balance, and for clotting after injury. Blood plasma can be processed and used to treat a variety of medical conditions; these include dehydration, shock, and serious burns. It can also be used in the production of biopharmaceuticals such as immunoglobulins, coagulation factors, and albumin.
