The Components of Blood and Their Importance

Blood is a specialized fluid in your body that has four main components, each with a different function: plasma, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Watch this video to learn more about how these components work. For more information on blood and its disorders, visit ASH's patient resources webpage http://hematology.org/Patients/.

In May of 1999,doctors at an American hospital attempted a radical new procedure on a patient whose immune system had mystetiously begun to attack her red blood cells.With no known way to counter the patien's loss of red blood cells,doctors had little hope for the dangerously anemic young woman.In one last desperate attempt,Dr.G.Giacoppe began giving his patient transfusions of Hemopure,an experimental blood substitute derived from highly purified cow's blood.A fews hours,she was sittuing up.
