[Microaggregates in stored blood: comparative evaluation of whole blood and buffycoat-free red cell concentrates (author's transl)]. 1978

A M Ganzoni, and U Reuff, and D Stampe, and K Koerner, and J Kilian

Routine preparation of red cell concentrates in our institute removes 90% of platelets and 70% of leucocytes in whole blood. Microaggregate formation in whole blood and red cell concentrates was comparatively evaluated by blood passage through a membrane filter with a pore size of 12 micron. Dry weight residues on the filter due to microaggregates were 5 to 10 times lower in red cell concentrates as compared to whole blood at any point of a 20 day storage period. In addition, the decrease in flow rate with increasing storage time was much more marked for whole blood than for red cell concentrates.

D010974 Platelet Aggregation The attachment of PLATELETS to one another. This clumping together can be induced by a number of agents (e.g., THROMBIN; COLLAGEN) and is part of the mechanism leading to the formation of a THROMBUS. Aggregation, Platelet
D001782 Blood Donors Individuals supplying blood or blood components for transfer to histocompatible recipients. Blood Donor,Donor, Blood,Donors, Blood
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
D004903 Erythrocyte Aggregation The formation of clumps of RED BLOOD CELLS under low or non-flow conditions, resulting from the attraction forces between the red blood cells. The cells adhere to each other in rouleaux aggregates. Slight mechanical force, such as occurs in the circulation, is enough to disperse these aggregates. Stronger or weaker than normal aggregation may result from a variety of effects in the ERYTHROCYTE MEMBRANE or in BLOOD PLASMA. The degree of aggregation is affected by ERYTHROCYTE DEFORMABILITY, erythrocyte membrane sialylation, masking of negative surface charge by plasma proteins, etc. BLOOD VISCOSITY and the ERYTHROCYTE SEDIMENTATION RATE are affected by the amount of erythrocyte aggregation and are parameters used to measure the aggregation.
