Changes in Hematological Indices and Lymphocyte Subsets in Response to Platelet Apheresis Donation.

Background: Platelet apheresis is a technique in which whole blood is collected from a donor followed by platelet (PLT) separation. Platelet apheresis has a significant impact on some biochemical indices after donation. This study aimed to investigate the impact of platelet apheresis on complete blood count (CBC) and lymphocyte subsets over a typical interdonation interval.

Study of Biochemical Changes after Plateletpheresis in Healthy Male Donors.

Background: There is relatively little information about endogenous biochemical changes in a response to plateletpheresis in healthy donors. We aimed to investigate the changes in different biochemical parameters including glycemic status, insulin resistance, iron status, lipid profile, and inflammatory markers after plateletpheresis in healthy male donors with normal glycemic status.

Methods: In this study we enrolled 10 male subjects.

Changes in metabolic indices in response to whole blood donation in male subjects with normal glucose tolerance.

Objectives: Previous studies have investigated the impact of venesection upon different metabolic indices in patients with various conditions (e.g., type 2 diabetes and iron overload).
