What is Hyskon (High Molecular Weight)?
Hyskon High-molecular Weight is a natural source of glucose. It restores blood plasma that has been lost due to severe bleeding. Severe blood loss can cause organ failure, brain injury, coma, and even death. Plasma is required to circulate the red blood cells, which deliver oxygen throughout your body.Hyskon can be used to treat hypovolemia, which is a decrease in the volume of blood plasma circulating. This condition may result from surgery, severe injuries, or burns.Hyskon can be used in other ways not mentioned in this guide.
