Abstract

BACKGROUND Storage lesion may explain the rapid clearance of up to 25% of transfused red blood cells (RBCs) in recipients. Several alterations affect stored RBC but a quantitative, whole cell–based predictor of transfusion yield is lacking. Because RBCs with reduced surface area are retained by the ...
