Abstract
BACKGROUND: Biochemical changes induced in red blood cells (RBCs) during storage may impair their function upon transfusion. Transfusion-associated stresses may further amplify storage lesion effects including increased phosphatidylserine (PS) exposure at the RBC membrane, microparticle (MP) release, and adhesion to endothelial cells (ECs). RBC stress susceptibility in vitro was investigated in relation to storage time and additive solution. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS: Leukoreduced whole blood donations (n = 18) were paired, mixed, and resplit before separating the RBCs for storage in saline-adenine-glucose-mannitol (SAGM) or AS-1. Samples were taken after 3, 21, or 35 days. For oxidative stre..
