And four of them have seen positive changes. Clinical trials of plasma therapy have also started in Karnataka this week. The Bihar government also wants to conduct the test at Patna AIIMS.
Kerala, which is the first in the country to talk about plasma therapy, will soon start working in this direction. More than 30 hospitals in different states of the country have sought permission.
The British government clarified on Saturday that it has been providing this therapy to critically ill people since COVID-19.
The government has said it has started clinical trials and will try to get Plasma from the people to treat at least 5,000 patients.
American Food and Drug Administration. Those who have entirely recovered from Covid-19 disease are requested to donate Plasma so that others can use it.
2. World Health Organization
According to the World Health Organization, convulsant Plasma was used to fight the Ebola virus.
China, from which the coronavirus began to circulate the world, has been successful using this therapy. Work on this therapy began in China in early February.
Guo Yanhong, an official with the Chinese National Health Commission, said in late February that its use had proven to be safe and effective so far.
So can this therapy be considered an essential step in stopping the Corona's growing motion?
3. Experts opinion
She says, "Vaccination is a preventive measure that everyone will need. Those who do not get this vaccine can get a corona infection and will, therefore, need treatment, and this therapy is useful for their treatment. "
The coronavirus infects people with COVID-19, in which the virus begins to spread in the early stages.
After this, in the second stage, it creates a complication in the lungs. And in the third stage, the organs begin to fail.
Dr. Sareen says she expects the patient to survive if this therapy is given at the beginning of the second stage of infection. But this therapy cannot replace that vaccine.
She says it is a new virus, work on its vaccine is underway in many places but will have to wait until then.
There are no anti-viral drugs to treat Covid-19 yet. In this case, unless anti-viral, the only hope is plasma therapy.
Dr. Sareen believes that until the coronavirus is cured, this therapy can be used extensively. She says that people should come forward to donate plasma for this and people can often donate blood for this because it does not cause weakness in the person.
4. The United States & India
At the time of the Corona outbreak, government health organizations in the United States and several companies working on Plasma formed a plasma alliance.
These companies are trying to move forward with the use of this therapy in the treatment of Covid-19.
At the same time, different states in India are moving forward at their level with the permission of ICMR and the Controller General of Drugs of India, but there appears to be a lack of effort.
On this question, Dr. "India's case is a bit different. It's the government's job, and there's not much to say about it," says Sareen.
5. What is Plasma Therapy?
The blood in the human body consists of red cells, white blood cells, platelets, and Plasma.
With the help of this Plasma, antibodies with resistance are produced as required.
After the corona attacks, the body of the corona sufferer begins to fight the virus, Antibodies produced with the help of plasma fight the infection.
These antibodies are a natural drug that effectively prevents that virus.
These antibodies prevent any virus or external infection from entering the cells. It does a natural and active job of stopping the virus from multiplying.
Therefore, when enough antibodies are produced in the body, the Corona is destroyed, and the Plasma (containing antibodies) of the recovered patient is transmitted to the severe corona victim, which can save lives.
1) Usually, the donor can donate Plasma two weeks after the corona test is negative.
2) This process is similar to blood donation.
3) Generally, it is Taken 400 ml of Plasma. These antibodies can treat two corona sufferers at a time.
6. Are there any risks in plasma therapy?
The dangers of plasma treatment are the same as the dangers of blood transfusion. There is a fear of affecting the immune system to some extent(Rarely).
Considering the above, plasma treatment may seem like a ray of hope for corona Patients, but in this case, some things cannot be ignored, such as, While researching plasma treatment, A small number of experiments have been done.
Method of determining the amount (capacity) of antibodies. How many months after corona release can this treatment be successful if the Plasma is donated?. At what stage of the Corona will this treatment be most useful?
There is no doubt that the use of this method will increase only after the completion of research in this regard.
