Blood plasma

[Vlad Kotenko]

Hello,

Blood plasma consists of water, albumins, globulins, fibrinogen, glucose, clotting factors, and other components. Plasma can be extracted from blood and then used in transfusions.

1) Is there a difference between infusing whole plasma and the same amount of plasma but divided into fractions (water, albumins, globulins, fibrinogen, glucose, clotting factors, and others) of which it consists? In other words, will infusing all plasma fractions simultaneously have the same effect upon a person as infusing unfractionated plasma?

2) Will those fractions combine again into plasma in a person's blood after their infusion?
