what happens if all of the plasma in my body gets removed?

Its like getting your blood removed... Plasma=whole blood - blood cells. Plasma gives volume to blood, makes it fluid and allows blood cells to circulate (among other numerous functions). Loss of body liquids thickens blood by lowering the volume of plasma (which consists primarily of water), and thats how people die from dehydration... or vampire bites ;)

It depends on where you are at. I know someone that does it for about $45 a week around here but I have heard that in PA they pay as much as $135 per week.  Just call your local plasma center and ask them what the pay rate is. Good luck. Oh, and make sure you start really hydrating yourself the day before. And eat really healthy. It helps a lot with how you feel afterward.

It's the blood circulating through your legs from gravity pushing the blood down. It'll go away.

Most probably it will get infected. And if then you don't treat the infection on time you might lose that part of the body and even die. But it will take a few days or even weeks before it happens

It's common to leave bullets and bullet fragments in the body. An experienced trauma surgeon can determine whether the bullet might become a problem, and whether it's worth trying to remove it. \n\nIf the bullet isn't going to cause any problems and removal would require extensive surgery, then it makes little sense to remove it.

To donate plasma, you must be a healthy individual at least 18 years of age or older, weigh at least 110 pounds, and pass all other required donor eligibility criteria. Following a well-balanced diet and drinking plenty of water before donating is also recommended.\n\nDonating plasma is a very safe procedure with minimal or no side effects.  On your initial visit, and annually, you will receive a physical exam and your medical history will be recorded.  These steps help ensure donating is safe for you and protect the recipient of the therapies made from your plasma.\n\nOn subsequent visits, a staff member will check your vital signs and ask some questions about your health since your last donation.  In addition, your hematocrit (the percentage of blood volume occupied by red blood cells) and plasma protein levels will be measured.\n\nThe tubing and all other collection supplies that come in contact with your blood are discarded and replaced with new, sterile materials each time a donation procedure is performed.\nThe professional medical staff is dedicated to making your visit comfortable and rewarding. You can spend the donation time relaxing, listening to music or catching up on your favorite magazine or book.\n\nThe body replaces the plasma removed during the donation process quickly; therefore, healthy individuals can donate as often as twice in a seven-day period, with at least 48 hours between donations.\n\nOn your first visit, the whole process, including a physical exam and the plasma donation, usually takes about two hours. On subsequent visits, you can anticipate spending approximately an hour and a half in the center.\n\nYou will be paid cash for your participation and your time, but remember you are not SELLING your plasma and they are not buying it.

cutting off blood supply to the organ and it starts deterirating

Nothing much.\n\nThe first point to realise is that the blood you donate will almost certainly not be transfused as whole blood. It will be separated into platelets, red blood cells, plasma and so forth. Red blood cells (RBCs),plasma and platelets have no nuclei and so have none of you DNA worth speaking of.\n\nThe only part of the blood that contains measurable DNA is the white blood cells. They won't get transfused in most cases. But even if whole blood was transfused the WBCs only have a life expectancy of a few weeks. So unless someone committed a crime within weeks of a massive whole blood transfusion it simply isn't an issue. The odds of anyone who receives a massive whole blood transfusion being able to commit a crime is very slim to say the least.\n\nIn the ridiculously improbable scenario that someone does commit a crime AND cuts themselves AFTER a massive whole blood transfusion you are still in the clear. The blood will contain genetic material form you and him and several other donors. That will not produce a positive match for your DNA. At worst it will indicate that you and at least three other people were all there bleeding in the same spot at the same time, which nobody will believe given the blood spatter pattern.\n\nRelax, it's just not an issue.

No, the protein is broken down in stomach, absorbed in the small intestine, and the remainder is expelled.

At death, a person will lose control of bodily functions.  All muscles will lose contraction.  If urine is present in the bladder and/or there is the presence of substance in the bowels both will empty.

blood, fluid pumped by the heart that circulates throughout the body via the arteries, veins, and capillaries (see circulatory system; heart). An adult male of average size normally has about 6 quarts (5.6 liters) of blood. The blood carries oxygen and nutrients to the body tissues and removes carbon dioxide and other wastes. The colorless fluid of the blood, or plasma, carries the red and white blood cells, platelets, waste products, and various other cells and substances

I just got mine removed and boy am I sore.  I am not sure about the liver flushing but my surgeon said that the liver is ok without the gallbladder and the tube that connects to it adapts and get a little bigger to release what the gallbladder did so there should not be any problems with having it out.  I will be asking my doctor about this though when I go back for my checkup.  Thanks..

Without blood cells, your blood is a watery straw colored substance, and mostly consists of blood plasma and and a huge assortment of dissolved proteins, hormones, and sugars and fats.

Your stomach smashes the food, but the small intestine takes that 'smash' and introduces it into the blood stream.\n\nDifferent sections of the SI pick out different nutrition's and vitamins, - so you pretty much need all of your SI.\n\nFolks have gone anemic, vitamin E deficient from having chunks removed.\n\nDon't risk it.

Can you see coloration underneath the skin? It could be a hematoma. You need a doctor as soon as you can get there. (A competent one) If it's a clot and is migrating, it can move anywhere in your body, and cause major problems. (People die from simple blood clots every day, so I would recommend you know whether this is one or not)

If you mean blood plasma, then water, blood proteins, inorganic electrolytes, glucose, fibrin (clotting factor).
