Plasma protein therapies are unique, biologic medicines that are either infused or injected to treat a variety of rare, life-threatening, chronic and genetic diseases including bleeding disorders, immune deficiencies, pulmonary disorders, neurological disorders, shock and trauma, liver cirrhosis and infectious diseases such as tetanus, hepatitis and rabies.
| Therapy | Conditions Treated | Treatment Outcomes |
| Coagulation factors:Essential for blood clotting, used to treat genetic bleeding disorders and surgical bleeding. | Bleeding from traumaOver dosage of anticoagulantsLiver diseaseBleeding DisordersHemophilia A and B - Disorders that prohibit a person's blood from clotting.Von Willebrand disease - The most common inherited bleeding disorder. | Improved quality of life Increased life expectancy |
| Immunoglobulins:Proteins used to neutralize foreign objects such as bacteria and viruses. Used to treat primary and secondary immunodeficiencies and autoimmune disorders. | ImmunodeficienciesPrimary - Life threatening genetic defect that compromises immune system.Secondary - Caused by outside factors such as viruses, chemotherapy, other immune deficiencies and auto-immune disorders. Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (CIDP) - A rare disorder of the peripheral nerves.Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (ITP) - A bleeding disorder in which the immune system destroys platelets, which are necessary for normal blood clotting. | Improved quality of life Increased life expectancy Infection prevention |
| Hyperimmune Globulins: Prevention and treatment of specific infections and other foreign bodies. | Rabies, tetanus and hepatitisRh negative pregnancyLiver transplant and surgery | PreventionTreatment Protection of babies in utero |
| Alpha-1 Proteinase Inhibitors:Protects tissues from enzymes of inflammatory cells. | Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency - Genetic deficiency which may result in life-threatening lung disease in adults and/or liver disease in people of any age. | Improved quality of lifeHalts disease progression |
| Albumin:The major plasma protein, regulating blood volume and providing many essential functions. | Cardiac surgeryLiver diseaseSevere infectionsEmergency and Surgical Medicine - Used to treat shock, severe burns and during surgery. | Lifesaving in severe situations Decreased morbidity and mortality |
| C1-esterase inhibitor (C1-INH):A protein found in the fluid part of your blood. It controls a protein called C1, which is part of the complement system. This system is a group of proteins that move freely through your bloodstream. | Hereditary angioedema - Rare but potentially life-threatening condition characterized by acute attacks of usually non-itching edema (swelling) of the face, larynx (airway), abdomen and extremeties. | Improved quality of life Increased life expectancy |
