Why would a patient receive plasma?

A patient might receive plasma transfusions to treat conditions such as clotting disorders, liver disease, or severe burns, where there is a need to replenish clotting factors and proteins that help with blood volume and coagulation. Plasma can also be used in cases of massive blood loss or during surgeries to maintain blood pressure and volume. Additionally, it may be administered to patients with certain immune deficiencies to provide antibodies.
