Donating blood plasma may cause symptoms such as feeling faint, and some tenderness at the site where the needle was injected.
Donating plasma is relatively safe, but people may experience side effects. It is sensible for someone to make sure they understand the side effects and how to avoid risks before becoming a donor.
Plasma is the liquid part of blood, containing vital proteins and antibodies for blood clotting and immunity. It is an important resource in healthcare, and the World Health Organization (WHO) consider it to be an essential medicine.
