This method, called convalescent plasma treatment, has historically been used as a potentially lifesaving treatment when new diseases or infections develop quickly, and no treatments or vaccines are yet available.

Following your donation, the convalescent plasma is separated from whole blood and both the plasma and red blood cells can be used as lifesaving treatments for our patients. Your gift can save lives!
