Pre- and post- donation haematological values in healthy donors undergoing plateletpheresis with five different systems

摘要

BackgroundAlthough automated cell separators have undergone a lot of technical refinements, attention has been focused more on the quality of platelet concentrates than on donor safety. We planned this prospective study to observe the effects of automated plateletpheresis on normal haematological values of healthy donors and to determine whether the haematological alterations had any clinical consequences.
