Diseases

Plasma protein therapeutics help people of all ages fight rare, chronic diseases and disorders as well as acute conditions including shock, severe burns, major surgery and treatment of certain cancers. These therapies are produced from donations of human blood plasma and, in the case of blood clotting factors, also through biotechnogy. Therapies produced from plasma and by the use of recombinant technology are collectively referred to as plasma protein therapies.

Plasma protein therapies help treat patients who have the following conditions:

Bleeding disorders
Immune system deficiencies
Genetic lung disorders
Burns
Shock
Trauma
Major surgery
Rh incompatibility
Cardiopulmonary needs
Recipients of transplants
Pediatric HIV
Hepatitis
Serious liver conditions
Animal bites (in the prevention of rabies)

From donor to patient, from vein to vein, plasma donors and plasma protein therapeutics help ensure a higher quality of life for people around the world who suffer from rare, often generic diseases. To learn more about plasma donation, visit www.DonatingPlasma.org.
