Brad Pick Highlights PPTA’s Insights on Plasma Therapies for Trauma, Surgery and Chronic Illnesses
Brad Pick, Senior Director Global External Communications at Grifols, shared a post by Plasma Protein Therapeutics Association (PPTA) on LinkedIn:
”What many don’t realize is that plasma therapeutics treat more than rare and chronic diseases. They have a vital role in treating everyday medical situations such as trauma and major surgery. That’s something all of us can relate to.”
Quoting Plasma Protein Therapeutics Association (PPTA)‘s post:
”Using specialized techniques, pooled plasma is separated and purified, and each protein undergoes advanced processes for therapeutic safety.
These manufacturing steps lead to plasma-derived medicines, such as albumin, immunoglobulins, coagulation factors, C1 esterase inhibitors, and Alpha-1 proteinase inhibitors.
These plasma-derived medicines are used to treat a range of conditions, from immunodeficiencies to blood clotting disorders, highlighting the critical role plasma proteins play in a variety of conditions – more of which are being discovered every day.
