Blood Plasma Market: Global Trends You Need To Know

Function of Blood Plasma

Plasma, the largest component of blood, accounts for 55% of total blood composition. It consists of several components—water, electrolytes, albumin and immunoglobulins, among others.

Blood plasma is used to treat patients with immunoglobulin deficiency. Exploring the potential of blood plasma in the large-scale treatment of immuno-compromised patients has become essential with the emerging incidences of both primary and secondary immunodeficiencies.

An increase in the cases of bleeding disorders such as hemophilia A, hemophilia B and von Willebrand disease has resulted in a better understanding of blood plasma and its potential in the treatment of these diseases.

That’s why studying blood plasma products is so crucial—to deepen the understanding of blood plasma and the potential of using blood plasma therapies in chronic disease management.
