In vivo recovery and survival of apheresis and whole blood‐derived platelets: a paired comparison in healthy volunteers
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Methods of platelet preparation may alter the recovery and survival characteristics of platelets following transfusion. As suggested by a recent clinical trial, platelet recovery may be better preserved with apheresis platelet preparations than with platelets prepared from whole blood by the platelet-rich plasma (PRP) method.
STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS: In vivo platelet recovery and survival of autologous leukoreduced (LR) apheresis …
