Plasma Question
Sorry for the delay regarding whether or not donating Plasma lowers your body's immune system. I had done a little research of my own but decided to consult a physcian at Boynton, here is her response that I just receieved today:
Sara--I'm so sorry that I haven't gotten back to you sooner. I looked at several resources regarding your question. Plasma does contain certain elements of the immune system (complement mostly), but in none
of the sources did anyone describe inhibition of the immune system as a result of a plasma donation. Let me know if I can help you any further. And, again, sorry about the delay.
