Storage of human platelet concentrates in an artificial medium without dextrose

Storage of human platelet concentrates in an artificial medium without dextrose It was shown previously that human blood platelets stored in an artificial medium (PCD) for up to 5 days remain functional in vitro and have normal survival and recovery in vivo. This report demonstrates that the medium can be simplified further by the removal of dextrose, leaving for study a medium consisting simply of balanced salts and citrate anticoagulant (PC). Some dextrose, 3.2 mM, was present in the fresh PC platelet concentrates due to plasma carryover in the production of platelet concentrates, but this dextrose concentration was considerably less than the 22.6 to 25.5 mM present in platelet concentrates in PCD or plasma. Platelet count, pH, PCO2, and PO2, as well as platelet aggregation and release responses to stimulation, in vitro, were as well preserved in the PCD or PC media as in the plasma controls. In the PC medium, platelets consumed 2.5 mM dextrose over 5 days and left 0.7 mM dextrose. The same consumption of dextrose was noted in PCD platelet concentrates, while platelets in plasma metabolized twice as much dextrose and formed twice as much lactate. Thus, the rate of glycolysis in platelet concentrates was independent of the dextrose concentration in the medium, and the platelet functions were well preserved. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Transfusion Wiley

Abstract

It was shown previously that human blood platelets stored in an artificial medium (PCD) for up to 5 days remain functional in vitro and have normal survival and recovery in vivo. This report demonstrates that the medium can be simplified further by the removal of dextrose, leaving for study a medium consisting simply of balanced salts and citrate anticoagulant (PC). Some dextrose, 3.2 mM, was present in the fresh PC platelet concentrates due to plasma carryover in the production of platelet concentrates, but this dextrose concentration was considerably less than the 22.6 to 25.5 mM present in platelet concentrates in PCD or plasma. Platelet count, pH, PCO2, and PO2, as well as platelet aggregation and release responses to stimulation, in vitro, were as well preserved in the PCD or PC media as in the plasma controls. In the PC medium, platelets consumed 2.5 mM dextrose over 5 days and left 0.7 mM dextrose. The same consumption of dextrose was noted in PCD platelet concentrates, while platelets in plasma metabolized twice as much dextrose and formed twice as much lactate. Thus, the rate of glycolysis in platelet concentrates was independent of the dextrose concentration in the medium, and the platelet functions were well preserved.
