Hello! The technique of plasma filtration is to separate the plasma and blood cells into two parts, the patient's plasma will be removed and replaced with another fluid, including fresh frozen donor plasma or albumin. (mixed with 0.9% NaCl).
Depending on the patient's condition, the doctor will prescribe an alternative solution. Fresh frozen plasma has the advantage of having clotting factors, but there is a risk of infection with blood-borne diseases that we do not detect, while albumin, on the contrary, has no risk of infection but is deficient in blood-borne diseases. clotting factors.
Therefore, it is not possible to conclude which method is better, through the examination process, the doctor will specify the method suitable for the patient.
Thank you for trusting and sending questions about Vinmec Health System.
