Plasma Research May End Jaundice From Transfusion
The danger of transmitting jaundice through blood plasma transfusion may have been eliminated as a result of research conducted at the University of Kansas.
Dr. Dwight J. Mulford, associate professor of biochemistry, has found that "pasteurization" of the plasma kills the organism causing jaundice but does not affect albumin, the part of plasma which is most effective in treating shock.
The process consists of removing the contents of the plasma which coagulate when heated and adding stabilizers to prevent the albumin from coagulating.
Dr. Mulford said the resulting solution is more expensive to prepare than the complete blood plasma, but it is cheaper than albumin extract.
The KU scientist explained that a person giving his blood may unknowingly transmit the jaundice virus, serum hepatitis. The person who receives the plasma probably will not come down with the disease until four to six months later. In the widespread practice of using "pooled" plasma, that of many persons, it has been impossible to stop transmission of the disease.
One of the questions brought about by the development of the pasteurization process is how to remove salt from plasma for patients who need the other components but cannot have salt. Persons with kidney ailments, for example, may be on salt-free diets.
Dr. Mulford has had the plasma project since 1952. From that year until 1954 it was supported by the U.S. Public Health Service. Last year the Department of the Army took over sponsorship.
Researchers on the project work with whole blood obtained from blood banks in this area. The blood has passed its 21-day limit of usefulness to the blood bank.
