The most important plasma components include:

Albumin is used for serious injuries, large-area burns, wasting cancer illnesses
(e.g. following chemo-therapies) and following a serious loss of blood.

Immunglobuline is used for the treatment of

• life-threatening infections such as tetanus, rabies or meningitis resulting from a tick bite.
• for people with primary immunodeficiency (pid). These can be  treated successfully with immunoglobuline preparations.
• pregnancy complications. Different rhesus factors of father and mother can lead to pregnancy complications. A plasma preparation prevents a rhesus sensitivity occurring in the mother.

Fibrinogens are used above all for internal injuries and for local wound closure.
Torn sinews and nerve cords can also be bound together using fibrinogen adhesive in the neurosurgery area.

Clotting factors
Haemophiliacs are able to lead normal lives with these proteins that are responsible for the clotting of the blood (e.g. factor VIII). Treatment with these factor concentrates is, however, essential for these patients all their lives.
