Plasma Therapy for Coronavirus: What is plasma therapy, what can be the treatment of corona

Corona virus has not yet been properly treated or vaccinated.  Meanwhile, there is a discussion that corona can be removed by plasma treatment over 100 years old.  It has been approved as a trial in a state like Delhi, Punjab.  Know all about plasma treatment and how it is treated here.

About 130 years old is the way

 You may have heard the name of plasma treatment for the first time, but it is not a new treatment.  It was discovered 130 years ago in 1890 by German physiologist Emil von Behring.  For this he was also awarded the Nobel Prize.  It was the first Nobel in the field of medicine.

State governments have asked for permission

 Many states of the country have sought permission from the central government to try plasma technology.  Some have also been allowed.  They are currently using this technology as a trial.  This includes Delhi, Kerala, Punjab, Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu.  In Delhi, this treatment has been started for a person placed on a ventilator.  At the moment its results are awaited.

What is plasma technology

 Our blood is made up of four things.  Red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets and plasma.  Plasma is the liquid part of the blood.  With its help, antibodies are made when needed.  After the corona attack, the body starts fighting the virus.  This fight fights antibodies that are made with the help of plasma.  The corona will lose if the body makes enough anti-body.  Antibodies remain in the body with plasma, which can be donated even after the patient has recovered.

How is treatment

 Once a patient has a corona infection, when he is cured, antibodies develop in his body.  These antibodies help him recover.  Such a person donates blood.  Plasma is extracted from his blood and when the antibodies present in the plasma are injected into another patient, this antibody reaches the sick patient, which helps him to recover.  With the help of plasma extracted from one person, treatment of two people is said to be possible.  He can donate plasma two weeks after Corona Negative arrives.

How effective plasma treatment

 How effective the plasma treatment cannot be stated clearly.  But some patients in China benefited from it.  Three Indian-American patients were also reported to have benefited from this.  Currently, ICMR and DGCI in India will say something after the trial
