Blood plasma is the liquid component of blood that serves as a medium for transporting nutrients, hormones, and waste products throughout the body. It is used therapeutically in plasma transfusions to treat patients with clotting disorders, trauma, burns, or in cases of massive blood loss. It is an approved and commonly used blood product in modern medicine.
Not applicable, as pharmacokinetic (PK) modeling in the classical sense (absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion) is not standard for administered human plasma, which does not behave as a classical small molecule drug. Plasma is administered as a fluid replacement, and its behavior is governed by volume kinetics rather than traditional PK.
