Cryoprecipitate

Cryoprecipitate is a blood product derived from blood plasma, prepared by slowly freezing and then thawing donation plasma. It contains important clotting factors, such as fibrinogen, factor VIII, von Willebrand factor, and factor XIII, which are essential for blood clot formation. Medical professionals use cryoprecipitate to treat patients with bleeding disorders or severe bleeding caused by low clotting factors, such as in hemophilia or massive transfusions. It acts quickly to help restore the blood’s ability to clot, aiding in controlling bleeding effectively.
