Eli5: How does Saline Solution work within the blood stream?

220 views

Fellows,

I’m reading about donating blood, and they said that in large volume plasma donation, a replacement of saline is added to your blood stream to account for the large volume taken. I’m just wondering how it’s okay to just replace blood with Saline

You dillute your blood with salt water. It doesnt do the same, you could not replace all blood that way.
