Platelet transfusions are increasingly being used to treat thrombocytopenic conditions. Because of anticoagulation, changes in blood composition and extracorporeal circulation, donor apheresis may cause alterations in hemorheology. This study aimed at investigating the effects of thrombocytapheresis on donor blood rheology. The effect of nitric oxide (NO) on donor red blood cell (RBC) deformability after thrombocytapheresis was also studied. Platelets were collected by a Haemonetics MCS 3p cell seperator. Blood samples were obtained before and 15 min after thrombocytapheresis. RBC deformability and aggregation were measured using an ektacytometer, whole blood viscosity (WBV) was determined with a cone-plate rotational viscometer. Donor RBCs...
