Difference between revisions of "Donate Plasma"

{{fa}}Plasma is a yellow, liquid substance that is part of the roughly 12 pints of [[Determine Your Blood Type|blood]] you have in your body. Through a process called plasmapheresis, you can donate a portion of your plasma to help drug companies make products to prevent and treat diseases including rubella, measles, hepatitis B, tetanus and rabies. Additionally, plasma treats hemophilia and some [[Rarely Get Sick|immune system]] conditions. Some plasma collection centers may collect plasma for cosmetics and other consumer goods. Your donor coordinator can tell you how the center uses the plasma. You can find a plasma donation center by searching in an online database.
