Plasmapheresis

 Plasmapheresis

- Souti Das



 In this experiment, the dog is rendered hypoproteinaemic by repeatedly withdrawing whole blood and injecting back the cellular elements of the blood (suspended in Ringer-Locke solution). This process is repeated daily till the level of plasma proteins fails to 4g/100 ml. Thereafter different standard diets are given and their effects on protein synthesis are studied. Following conclusions have been drawn from this experiment:

• Dietary proteins are essential for synthesis of plasma proteins.

• Chemical resemblance of food protein amino acid with those of the plasma proteins to be synthesized determines their efficacy to synthesize a particular protein.

• Essential amino acid must be present in the diet for the satisfactory synthesis of plasma proteins.

• Dietary proteins of animal origin favours albumin synthesis.

• Dietary proteins of plant origin favours globulin synthesis.

• Regeneration of plasma proteins occurs within 14 days.

• Rate of regeneration of plasma protein is very fast within first 24 hours.

THANK YOU
