Grandpa is ill and hospitalized, and his body is very weak. Dad asked the doctor to transfuse him with whole blood. Excuse me, is it good?

    The patient is weak and needs even nutritional supplements. However, the content of many essential amino acids in whole blood albumin, such as tryptophan, is very low, which is far from the high nutritional value of high-quality proteins such as eggs and milk. Enteral nutrition should also be considered first when ordinary foods such as eggs and milk cannot be eaten in time Or parenteral nutrition, not blood transfusion. Therefore, whole blood, plasma and albumin are not suitable for nutrition. What's more, transfusion of whole blood or plasma still has certain safety risks-infectious diseases.
