Plateletpheresis - Study of indices before and after the procedure
Summary:
Platelets are vital in blood clotting, as they form a blood clot at the point of vessel injury. Platelet disorders may be either quantitative or qualitative.
Platelet transfusion is an integral part of supporting patients suffering from malignant blood diseases who have undergone bone marrow transplantation or received chemotherapy. Moreover, platelet transfusion supports patients undergoing cardiac surgery and bleeding events.
Plateletpheresis is a process of collecting leukoreduced platelets through cell separators. It is painless for the platelets donors; however, some complications may occur. For this reason, a study of the level of electrolytes K+, Na+, Ca+2, Mg+2was conducted. A sample of 56 donors, who donated platelets in EANP Metaxa between November 2017 and January 2018.
The objective is to improve platelet donor safety and protection by studying the reactions to these electrolytes during plateletapheresis. Concluding, the levels of K+, Na+, Ca+2, Mg+2 are affected by apheresis platelet collection but not at such levels as to be considered dangerous for the safety of the donor.
