Discussion Haemolysis during storage was greatly enhanced in RCCs from lipemic WB donations. Based on the limited set of donations in this evaluation, a tentative conclusion is that highest chance of lipemic plasma exists in donations from men over 50 years with BMI > 25, donating in the evening. Based on these investigations, our blood service decided not to use lipemic WB for the production of (cellular) blood products.
