General
- Blood
consists of several types of cells floating around in a fluid
called plasma.
- The red
blood cells contain hemoglobin, a protein that binds oxygen. Red
blood cells transport oxygen to, and remove carbon dioxide from,
the body tissues. The white blood cells fight infection. The
platelets help the blood to clot, if you get a wound for
example. The plasma contains salts and various kinds of proteins
- Blood
products are the safest they have ever been. The risk of
contracting a viral infection or having a severe negative
outcome are extremely remote at this time.
Uses
- The
appropriate use of blood products is defined as the transfusion
of safe blood products to treat a condition leading to
significant morbidity or mortality that cannot be prevented or
managed effectively by other means.
- Blood
products and related substances used as biological medicines and
in vitro diagnostics in human medicine have historically played
a paramount role in improving world health. These products
constitute a key health concern in both the developing and the
developed world, requiring specialized expertise of National
Regulatory Authorities (NRAs) and coordination across national
boundaries for their control.
Notes
- An example
of a blood product with essential therapeutic characteristics is
anti-haemophilic factor, which is present in large quantities
during the freezing and thawing of plasma, and without which
people with haemophilia would not survive.
- Blood
consists of cells and fluid, or plasma. Plasma contains a
variety of proteins, including albumin, immunoglobulins,
clotting factors and protein inhibitors, which have a wide range
of important therapeutic functions.
