Background: At this instant, automated cell separators are used for the purification of platelets from healthy donors but the donor’s safety should not be overlooked. Hence, the present study aimed to compare the effect of platelet apheresis (via mega unit) on hematological indices of healthy donors. Methodology: In this cross-sectional study, 100 samples of healthy plateletpheresis or thrombopheresis donors were included. The pre and post plateletphresis hematological parameters were assessed. The total platelet count (PLT), hemoglobin (Hb), white blood cells count (WBCs), red blood cells count (RBCs), mean cell volume (MCV), mean cell hemoglobin (MCH) or mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MHCH) were estimated through complete blood count (CBC) analysis and platelet apheresis was done by Mega unit Haemonetics MCS+9000 Cell Separator and 994- CFE. Results: After platelet apheresis procedure, a significant decrement in PLT value (p-value <0.001). And with that a remarkable difference was also observed in the haemoglobin, MCH and MCHC. Conclusion: In conclusion, the hematological parameters significant decree among donors after the procedure of platelet aphresis but the revealed characteristics of thrombocytopenia and anemia were not found.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
