MIRACLES

Blood plasma is the liquid component of blood that holds proteins, hormones, and nutrients in suspension. Derivatives are specific proteins isolated from plasma through a process called fractionation.

Key Derivatives and Their Functions

• Albumin: Used to treat volume loss in trauma or surgery and to manage liver failure.

• Immunoglobulins (IVIG): Essential for patients with primary immunodeficiency or autoimmune neurological disorders.

• Coagulation Factors: Crucial for managing Hemophilia A and B, allowing for effective blood clotting.
