What is a blood component prepared by thawing Fresh Frozen Plasma and removing the fluid portion?

The correct choice refers specifically to cryoprecipitated AHF (antihemophilic factor), a blood component prepared from thawing fresh frozen plasma (FFP). When FFP is thawed, the precipitate that forms is rich in clotting factors, specifically factors VIII and fibrinogen, along with other proteins. This concentrated component is known as cryoprecipitate and is commonly used in clinical settings to treat patients with bleeding disorders, particularly those with low fibrinogen levels.

The preparation of cryoprecipitate is a valuable process because it allows for a concentrated source of essential coagulation factors from a larger volume of plasma. By removing the liquid portion after thawing, healthcare professionals can isolate the fibrinogen and factor VIII that are crucial for hemostasis and provide targeted treatment for bleeding issues.

In contrast to the other options, none of which accurately describe the process or component associated with thawing FFP. Plasma Protein Fraction is a different product that does not involve the same process as cryoprecipitate, while Factor IX Complex refers specifically to a different combination of factors often derived from plasma, and FP24 is not a recognized term for a product resulting from the thawing of FFP.
