Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the performance and establish the upper reference limit for high-sensitivity cardiac troponin I (hs-cTnI) using the MAGLUMI CLIA method in healthy populations.
- Two groups of healthy adults were analyzed: one with younger adults (average age 43) and another with older adults (average age 78), focusing on blood donation volunteers.
- Results showed that hs-cTnI levels were significantly higher in men than women, especially after age 55, confirming that the MAGLUMI CLIA method meets international diagnostic criteria for cardiac assessments.
Introduction: Plasmapheresis donation is considered safe and well tolerated, although long-term effects need to be clarified. The volumes of anticoagulant (ACD-A) used are variable and depend primarily on hematocrit (HCT), total blood processed, amount of plasma collected, and donor characteristics. To elucidate the effect of the plasma unit weight setting on plasmapheresis efficiency and ACD-A distribution, we enrolled male donors undergoing a controlled apheresis process donating 700 g and 720 g in two different sessions.
