A member asked:
Subsequent to a blood transfusion there was some yellow liquid in the blood bag - what's going on?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Plasma: Blood is composed of formed elements (red cells, white cells and platelets) and the liquid portion is plasma. During a transfusion of packed red blood cells, there is also some plasma and anticoagulant in the bag, and they separate from the red cells by gravity. This is a normal finding, the color of the plasma is usually yellow.
