Does donating plasma have any effect on the body?

At present, many people donate blood or plasma. This behavior is very worthy of promotion. However, some people worry that donating plasma will be harmful to their bodies. But in fact, there is no need to worry about this problem. Donating plasma will not cause any harm to the body. However, generally speaking, patients who are prone to anemia are not recommended to donate plasma, as this will only make the existing anemia worse. In addition, patients with infectious diseases cannot donate plasma.

Plasma is a partial component of whole blood. Compared with donating whole blood, donating plasma will have much less impact on blood quality. At the same time, it can also stimulate the activity of the human hematopoietic system. Occasional and appropriate donation of plasma is beneficial to the human body and has no harm.

The requirement for donating blood is that you are in good health. If you are an anemic patient, or a carrier of a virus or disease, your blood test will be unqualified and you are generally not allowed to donate plasma to avoid dizziness, shock and other symptoms after donating blood, or contaminating other plasma, and in severe cases even transmitting disease to the user.

The normal blood volume is about 8% of the body weight, and there will be no symptoms if the blood donation is less than 10%. The amount of plasma donated at one time is 600g, which is far less than the amount of blood donation. Therefore, as long as there is no problem with your body, it will not affect your normal physiological functions.

Blood donation: Blood donation is a person's love and contribution to society, therefore, it is a free act, and the amount of blood donated can be chosen by oneself, usually 200ml or 400ml, and it is rare to donate 800ml at a time.

Donating plasma : Donating plasma is not for contribution or love, but for making raw materials for medicines. It is sent to pharmaceutical factories. Therefore, it is considered paid blood donation and certain nutritional subsidies will be provided.

Pay attention to dietary supplements

The main components of plasma are protein and hemoglobin. Therefore, after donating plasma, you should pay attention to supplementing your food with more high-protein and high-iron foods to promote the re-synthesis of plasma.

Note: After donating plasma, you should avoid eating too much fatty food to avoid obesity.
