RESUMO
Increasing pH by a 0.5 increment over the commonly used preservative, acid-citrate-dextrose with adenine (ACD-Ad), results in a significant improvement in 2,3-DPG, with no significant loss in concentrations of ATP. The intermediate pH preservative, 6.0, also had ATP concentrations which equaled those of the low pH preservatives, 5.0 and 5.5, from the 21st to the 42nd day of storage. A citrate-adenine preservative, with a pH between 5.5 and 6.0, would seem to be optimal for maintenance of hemoglobin function and red cell viability, as determined by measurements of 2,3-DPG and ATP concentrations.

Serial oxygen dissociation curves were performed on blood units preserved in acid-citrate-dextrose (ACD), ACD-adenine, and ACD-adenine-inosine. Dividing blood from a single donor into two or more bags allowed direct comparison between preservatives. During the 1st wk of storage in ACD, a progressive increase in oxygen affinity was observed. Thereafter, little further change was noted. Oxygen affinity increased even more rapidly during initial storage in ACD-adenine. However, with the inclusion of inosine as a preservative, oxygen affinity remained unaltered during the first 2 wk. Increases in oxygen affinity correlated well with falling levels of red cell 2,3-diphosphoglycerate (2,3-DPG) during storage. No significant changes in glutathione, reduced form (GSH), or A3 (A(I)) hemoglobin levels were noted during the first 3 wk of storage. No significant accumulation of ferrihemoglobin was detected. When blood stored 20 days in ACD or ACD-adenine was incubated with inosine for 60 min at 37 degrees C, 2,3-DPG and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) were resynthesized, and oxygen affinity was decreased. The distribution of 2,3-DPG in fresh and stored red cells appeared to influence experimental values for Hill's n, a measure of heme-heme interaction.
