What is PRP (Platelet-rich plasma)?


Platelet-rich plasma (AbbreviationPRP) is blood plasma that has been enriched with platelets. As a concentrated source of autologous platelets, PRP contains (and releases through degranulation) several different growth factors and other cytokines that stimulate healing of bone and soft tissue.

The efficacy of certain growth factors in healing various injuries and the concentrations of these growth factors found within PRP are the theoretical basis for the use of PRP in tissue repair.The platelets collected in PRP are activated by the addition of thrombin and calcium chloride, which induces the release of the mentioned factors from alpha granules. The growth factors and other cytokines present in PRP include:

Preperation

There are, at present, two methods of PRP preparation approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Both processes involve the collection of the patient's whole blood (that is anticoagulated with citrate dextrose) before undergoing two stages of centrifugation (TruPRP) (Harvest) designed to separate the PRP aliquot from platelet-poor plasma and red blood cells In humans, the typical baseline blood platelet count is approximately 200,000 per µL; therapeutic PRP concentrates the platelets by roughly five-fold.There is, however, broad variability in the production of PRP by various concentrating equipment and techniques


Clinical Aplications

In humans, PRP has been investigated and used as a clinical tool for several types of medical treatments, including nerve injury tendinitis, osteoarthritis, cardiac muscle injury, bone repair and regeneration,plastic surgery, and oral surgery. PRP has also received attention in the popular media as a result of its use in treating sports injuries in professional athletes.

Hair regrowth

PRP may be used as a treatment for hair regrowth caused by androgenic alopecia. A 2013 review stated more evidence is needed to determine the effectiveness of PRP for hair regrowth
