01

Overview

Plasma volume refers to the total volume of blood plasma present in the circulatory system. Blood plasma is the pale yellow, liquid component of blood in which blood cells are suspended. Plasma is primarily composed of water, but also contains dissolved proteins, glucose, clotting factors, electrolytes, hormones, carbon dioxide, and oxygen. It plays a critical role in maintaining osmotic balance and transporting substances throughout the body. Alterations in plasma volume can indicate or contribute to various medical conditions.
