When you get pregnant, the placenta (the sack that holds the baby) is made of plazma. In other words if you're missing part of the equation it may not work. However some people have more plazma than others, hense a stronger immune system. It all depends on your body.

Hello,
There are few guidelines which must be followed before becoming a donor. Blood of the donor is tested for proper iron and protein levels before a person can donate. Few common side effects with plasma donation are bruising or infection around the puncture site where the needle was inserted, allergic reactions etc.Another extremely rare complication is hemoglobin in the urine and frequent plasma transfusions can cause low plasma levels. It is suggested to consult a healthcare provider before planning to donate plasma. I hope it helps.
Best wishes and regards!
