Plasma-derived therapies
Plasma-derived therapies are medical treatments made from human plasma, the liquid component of blood that contains vital proteins and antibodies. These therapies are used to treat various conditions, such as immune deficiencies, bleeding disorders, and neurological diseases. The process involves collecting plasma from donors, then carefully purifying specific proteins needed for therapy. Because these treatments come from human plasma, they require rigorous safety testing to prevent infections. Plasma-derived therapies play a crucial role in managing certain diseases by providing essential proteins that the body cannot produce enough of on its own.
