Definition of Plasma donation
Medically reviewed by Dr. Otari Nergadze, Neurosurgeon | Updated: January 2026
Plasma donation: The donation or sale of blood plasma for use in medical or other products. Unlike blood donors, most plasma donors in the US are paid. The procedure is done in a walk-in facility, where whole blood is taken through an IV needle and separated into plasma and blood cells. The blood cells are then returned to the donor intravenously.
