Blood Plasma
Blood plasma is the yellow liquid part of blood. In normal blood, the blood cells are suspended in the plasma. Plasma makes up about 55% of the total blood volume. It is mostly water (90% by volume) and contains dissolved proteins, glucose, clotting factors, mineral ions, hormones and carbon dioxide. Plasma is the transport medium for excretion. In hospitals, blood plasma is extracted to either for medical therapy (plasmapheresis) or diagnostics tests (clinical chemistry, immunology,…) : an anti-coagulant stops the blood clotting. Then tubes of blood are spun very fast in a centrifuge. The blood cells go to the bottom of the tubes. The plasma is poured into another container. Blood serum is blood plasma without fibrinogen or the other clotting factors (that is, whole blood minus both the cells and the clotting factors).

What are the rarest blood types? There are eight main blood types but some are rarer than others. The list below shows the percentage of donors with each blood type: O positive: 35% O negative: 13% A positive: 30% A negative: 8% B positive: 8% B negative: 2% AB positive: 2% AB negative: 1%
Negative blood is very rare now so we should arrange blood too early... And we should donate blood...💓

Plasma is currently being used to save many patients, So blood grouping must be done first, because if the blood group does not match, this plasma can cause harm.
