Buffy-coat-derived pooled platelet concentrates and apheresis platelet concentrates: which product type should be preferred?
There is an ongoing debate whether platelet concentrates (PCs) prepared from either whole-blood donations or by plateletpheresis are superior. Usage of these two product types varies greatly between countries and individual institutions. Some use mainly apheresis PCs; others prefer pooled PCs which are produced from whole-blood donations. This review summarizes the existing information on these...
متن کاملSelection of histocompatible apheresis platelet donors by cross-matching random donor platelet concentrates.
It can be impossible to identify compatible platelet donors for alloimmunized patients whose HLA type cannot be determined or who have uncommon HLA types. We have previously shown that histocompatible donors can be rapidly identified by "mass screening" of platelet concentrates (PC), which are readily available in all blood banks, using a solid-phase adherence platelet cross-matching technique....
متن کاملAn Overview on Platelet-derived Microparticles in Platelet Concentrates: blood collection, method preparation and storage
Preparations of platelet concentrates (PCs) that are stored under blood bank conditions and used for transfusion purposes, appear to be enriched in platelet derived-microparticles (PMPs) with high coagulant activity that may change platelet efficacy and safety issues. High shear stress could cause shedding of PMPs from the platelet plasma membrane, platelet aggregation, and activation of the co...
متن کاملBlood Product Supply in Germany: The Impact of Apheresis and Pooled Platelet Concentrates.
BACKGROUND In Germany, about 60% of all produced platelet concentrates (PCs) are apheresis PCs (APCs). Ongoing discussions on APC reimbursement and costs might lead to a potential shift in pooled PC (PPC)/APC production. Objective of this analysis was to build a comprehensive model from the societal perspective to evaluate consequences associated with shifts in platelet supply and demand. MET...
متن کاملEvaluation of Biochemical Parameters of Platelet Concentrates Stored in Plasma or in A Platelet Additive Solution (Composol)
Abstract Objective Removing plasma from the platelet concentrate (PC) medium could be an effective way to increase the safety of this product. The goal of this study was to compare PC stored in plasma or in an additive solution (Composol) with in vitro testing. Materials and Methods Fifty-four single donor PCs were prepared from Iranian Blood Transfusion Organization (IBTO). Each PC unit wa...
