What is the relation between whole blood glucose level and plasma glucose level?
Plasma makes up 55% of the volume of the blood. Glucose content in blood cells is different (smaller) than the glucose content in plasma. So the average glucose content in the whole blood is different from both (lies in between). To get an approximate plasma glucose value, multiply the whole blood value by 1.15. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_sugar
What is left when you remove plasma from whole blood?
When you remove plasma from whole blood, it is just the red blood cells that are left. The plasma will be a sort of yellow liquid taken from the blood.

What happened if there is Plasma in the blood?
This would be whole blood and normal - blood is made of blood cells and plasma (the liquid portion).
How can you derive blood from plasma?
By using a centrifuge. I donate platelets, not whole blood and it is done by this method. They spin out what they need. whole blood donations can also be split to help as many as three different patients. You can't derive blood from plasma. You can derive plasma from blood all day long, but you can't derive a whole (blood) from a part (plasma).
What is the combination of plasma and formed elements called?
It is called whole blood. Whole Blood is Plasma & Formed Elements (RBC's, WBC's, etc) Plasma contributes 46-63% and the Formed Elements contribute 37-54% of whole blood in the body.
The mixture of plasma and blood cells is called?
Hematocrit is the proportion of your total blood volume that is composed of red blood cells. If you add the plasma, what you have is a blood sample called a full blood count.
What is the liquid portion of whole blood called?
The liquid part is plasma and the solid part are the RBCs(red blood corpuscles/cells).
What are the results when whole blood is centrifuged?
Plasma? Serum?
Is plasma same as blood?
The blood that runs through the veins, arteries, and capillaries is known as whole blood, a mixture of about 55 percent plasma and 45 percent blood cells.
What consists mainly liquid part of whole blood called plasma?
Plasma is mostly water.
Is glucose a component of plasma?
Yes. Whole blood minus the blood cells leaves you with plasma, which includes all dissolved materials.
