The additive solution, ADSOL, was evaluated for its suitability in the extended storage of previously frozen, deglycerolized red blood cells. In vitro comparison with red cells suspended in 0.2% dextrose 0.9% saline showed that ADSOL allowed for significantly enhanced adenosine triphosphate preservation throughout the storage period (greater than 2.2 mumol/g Hb beyond 14 days) and for significantly reduced hemolysis (less than 1% beyond 14 days). After 10 days of storage in ADSOL the mean recovery after transfusion was 90% (index of therapeutic effectiveness, 77%). No bacterial contamination was observed. The results suggest that this currently approved additive solution could be used to store red cells for 14 days following thawing, thus avoiding one of the principal drawbacks of frozen red cells.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008297 Male Males
D008353 Mannitol A diuretic and renal diagnostic aid related to sorbitol. It has little significant energy value as it is largely eliminated from the body before any metabolism can take place. It can be used to treat oliguria associated with kidney failure or other manifestations of inadequate renal function and has been used for determination of glomerular filtration rate. Mannitol is also commonly used as a research tool in cell biological studies, usually to control osmolarity. (L)-Mannitol,Osmitrol,Osmofundin
D001781 Blood Component Removal Any procedure in which blood is withdrawn from a donor, a portion is separated and retained, at the same time the remainder is returned to the donor. Apheresis,Pheresis,Aphereses,Blood Component Removals,Phereses,Removal, Blood Component
D001793 Blood Preservation The process by which blood or its components are kept viable outside of the organism from which they are derived (i.e., kept from decay by means of a chemical agent, cooling, or a fluid substitute that mimics the natural state within the organism). Blood Preservations,Preservation, Blood,Preservations, Blood
D002470 Cell Survival The span of viability of a cell characterized by the capacity to perform certain functions such as metabolism, growth, reproduction, some form of responsiveness, and adaptability. Cell Viability,Cell Viabilities,Survival, Cell,Viabilities, Cell,Viability, Cell
D004912 Erythrocytes Red blood cells. Mature erythrocytes are non-nucleated, biconcave disks containing HEMOGLOBIN whose function is to transport OXYGEN.

D006400 Hematocrit The volume of packed RED BLOOD CELLS in a blood specimen. The volume is measured by centrifugation in a tube with graduated markings, or with automated blood cell counters. It is an indicator of erythrocyte status in disease. For example, ANEMIA shows a low value; POLYCYTHEMIA, a high value.
