Major Types of Blood Disorders

Plasma: Sepsis

The plasma part of the blood is actually the liquid portion, and it is a mixture of water, sugar, fats, proteins, and salts. The main purpose of plasma is to transport both white and red blood cells throughout the body as well as vital nutrients and hormones. Sepsis occurs when an infection from somewhere throughout the body enters the bloodstream and spread rapidly often attacking other functions and organs, eventually causing organ failure.
