Plasma is the liquid portion of the blood that remains when all Red & White blood cells and platelets have been removed. Along with water, salt, and enzymes, plasma also contains important components like antibodies, clotting factors, and the proteins albumin and fibrinogen. However, the key component of plasma for treating infections is antibodies.
Using Plasma involves the transfer of antibodies from donors who have already mounted an immune response, thus offering immediate protection to the recipient. Hence with an intention to serve the community at large, the RPF Jawans - the Covid Warriors donated their blood at Railway Hospital,Perambur for Plasma Therapy.
The Railway Hospital confirmed that the Plasma received from the RPF personnel was administered to the patients who were/are suffering from moderate to severe symptoms of covid 19. It is very encouraging that some of the patients who received the plasma have recovered while others are recovering.
