Abstract:
We studied in 40 platelet concentrates (PCs) prepared by two methods: Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) (n= 20) and buffy coat (BC) (n=10) and evaluated the changes of platelet count, white blood cell count, glucose concentration and pH during the 4 days-storage. There was not significant difference between two groups for platelet count, glucose concentration at the day 0. After 4 days, the platelet’s loss in PCs- PRP was significantly lower than that in PCs-BC (4.93x 109 Vs 7.14 x 109, p<0,05) and PCs- PRP had the lower glucose consumption than PCs- BC (53.6 mg% vs 115.9 mg%, non significant). The WBC counts and pH were higher in PCs- PRP than those in PCs-BC at day 0, but the WBC’s decreasing during the storage as not different between two groups, the pH of PCs-BC reduced more quickly than that of PCs- PRP are more stable than those in PCs- BC during 4 day storage.
