45.Plasma is a blood product containing fibrinogen and clotting factors and may be used to treat coagulation disorders.
Plasma is used to treat coagulation disorders and warfarin overdose because it contains clotting factors. It is separated from RBCs through the use of anticoagulants and a centrifuge, causing the fibrinogen and clotting factors present in blood to remain in plasma. The RBCs then become packed RBCs. Although serum is similar to plasma, it is separated from RBCs only after clotting has been allowed to happen. Therefore, serum does not contain fibrinogen because the fibrinogen was used in the RBC clot. Serum is typically used for blood typing in a laboratory, and plasma is typically given to patients.
