What is the main difference between cryoprecipitate and human albumin?
What is the main difference between cryoprecipitate and human albumin?
- Cryoprecipitate contains fibrinogen, factor VIII, and fibronectin, while human albumin contains purified factor VIII and IX concentrates.
- Cryoprecipitate is stored for up to a year, while human albumin is stored for a shorter duration.
- Cryoprecipitate is pasteurized at 60°C, while human albumin is frozen at -30°C.
- Cryoprecipitate has no compatibility requirements, while human albumin does. (correct)
In what cases is cryoprecipitate commonly used?
In what cases is cryoprecipitate commonly used?

- In acute blood volume replacement.
- When fibrinogen levels are low. (correct)
- When factor VIII levels are low.
What is the process involved in preparing human albumin?
What is the process involved in preparing human albumin?
- It contains fibrinogen, factor VIII, and fibronectin, and is stored for up to a year.
- It is prepared from large pools of plasma after controlled thawing.
- It is resuspended in 10-20 ml plasma after freezing to -30°C.
- It is pasteurized at 60°C for 10 hours after fractionation of large pools of donated plasma. (correct)
