It's a yellow-ish liquid that makes up about half of blood volume and carries red and white blood cells and platelets around the body.This antibody-rich plasma - called convalescent plasma - is formed when someone has recovered from Covid-19, usually 28 days after being ill.This convalescent plasma could be given to Covid-19 patients by transfusion to help them fight off the disease and improve their chances of survival.
Two clinical trials in the UK, Remap-Cap and Recovery, are under way to test out how well this works.Who can donate convalescent plasma? Only those who have had coronavirus symptoms and only once they have fully recovered, giving time for antibodies to develop.It's different. The process takes about 45 minutes and separates plasma from the blood as you donate.
We need to make it easier for this to happen. Local donor centers and more flexible times would be a good idea 👍🏼
