Thrombopoietin therapy increases platelet yields in healthy platelet donors

Blood, 2001
The recombinant thrombopoietins have been shown to be effective stimulators of platelet production in cancer patients. It was therefore of interest to determine if one of these, pegylated recombinant human megakaryocyte growth and development factor (PEG-rHuMGDF), could be used to increase platelet counts and consequently platelet yields from apheresis

Hemoglobin and Platelet Count Effect on Platelet Yields in Plateletpheresis

Archives of Medical Research, 2003
Platelet transfusion in thrombocytopenic patients, especially those with marrow failure, remains one of the most important support measures available. Treatment success depends on rational use of platelet transfusion. Platelet yield, reflected in transfused platelet dose, influences platelet recovery in the patient and allows prolonging intervals ...

Apheresis platelets: Emerging issues related to donor platelet count, apheresis platelet yield, and platelet transfusion dose

Journal of Clinical Apheresis, 1998
Emerging issues in stimulating apheresis platelet donors with platelet growth factors, the relative costs of apheresis and random donor platelet concentrates, optimal platelet transfusion dose, and leucoreduction of platelet products have caused renewed debate regarding apheresis products vs. random, pooled concentrates.

Increase in Platelet Count is Not Affected by the Platelet Yield of Single Donor Pheresed Platelets

Journal of Pediatric Hematology/Oncology, 2007
To determine if the rise in platelet count after transfusion in neonates is associated with platelet yield of the pheresed platelet unit.Cohort study of infants in a level 3 Neonatal Intensive Care Unit that received single donor platelets (SDP). Platelet rise in infants were compared between 3 groups: underproduction, destruction, and idiopathic.

Factors Affecting Platelet Yield in a Single Donor Plateletpheresis

Pakistan Journal of Medical and Health Sciences, 2022
Background: This procedure, known as plateletpheresis, involves the removal of platelets from a donor's blood. This method produces eight times as many platelets as would be obtained by using whole blood. Aim: To evaluate the effect of different donor related factors on platelet yield. Method: This research was carried out at the Children's Hospital &

Yield and quality of HgI2 vapor grown platelets

Journal of Crystal Growth, 1985
Abstract The yield of HgI2 vapor grown platelets in the presence of polythylene is reported here for the first time to be dependent on the ampoule geometry. The quality of the HgI2 platelets was characterized in terms of each pit density, traping time, surface recombination velocity and spectral response using X- and γ-ray spectrometers.

Platelet-Rich Plasma Sequestration, with Therapeutic Platelet Yields, Reduces Allogeneic Transfusion in Complex Cardiac Surgery

Anesthesia & Analgesia, 2000
Platelet dysfunction is the most common cause of nonsurgical bleeding after cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). We hypothesized that reinfusion of a therapeutic quantity of platelets sequestered before CPB would decrease the need for allogeneic platelet transfusion, as well as decrease bleeding and total allogeneic transfusion, in cardiac surgery patients at

Improved yield of minimal proportional sample volume platelet bacterial culture

Transfusion, 2017
BACKGROUNDReports of septic transfusion reactions (STRs) after transfusion of culture‐negative platelets (PLTs) justify more effective prevention strategies. Pathogen reduction technologies or performance of additional point‐of‐issue testing are proposed strategies to enhance safety through Day 5 of storage.STUDY DESIGN AND METHODSTrima leukoreduced ...
