Plateletpheresis is a lifesaving procedure in preventing and treating serious complications from bleeding and haemorrhage in patients having disorders manifesting as thrombocytopenia like in dengue patients, ITP, aplastic anemia and chemotherapy for leukaemia.Methods:
In this study 100 healthy voluntary donors were enrolled after taking the informed written consent and adverse donor reactions of plateletpheresis were noted.Results:
It was observed that out of 100 donors, only two donors had adverse effects during plateletphersis. Citrate toxicity was seen in one donor (1%) and one donor (1%) had bruising on the arm at venipuncture site during phlebotomy.Conclusion:
