Question of the Day
Cryoprecipitate contains which of the following?
Explanation
Cryoprecipitate is obtained from fresh frozen plasma by centrifugation with and collection of the precipitate. It is often transfused as a four to six unit pool instead of as a single product. Unlike fresh frozen plasma, compatibility testing is not strictly necessary, but cryoprecipitate is given as ABO compatible when possible. Cryoprecipitate contains fibrinogen, Factors XIII, VIII, and Von Willebrand factor. Additionally, fibronectin, albumin, and IgG and IgM antibodies are typically present.
