Abstract:
【Objective】 We performed a prospective analysis of iron status in plateletpheresis donors, to provide data basis and support for optimizing the strategy of plateletpheresis donation and high quality service for donors. 【Methods】 Plasma ferritin levels were measured in samples from 3 444 plateletpheresis donors who donated in Beijing Red Cross Blood Center to evaluate iron status from the perspective of sex, age, donation status and number of donations in the past 12 months. 【Results】 1) The incidence of low ferritin level was 26.63% in 3 444 cases. There was significant difference in the incidence of low ferritin between sex, as 26.75% in males and 26.31% in females (P>0.05), respectively. There was no significant difference in the concentration of ferritin and the incidence of low ferritin between different age groups of first-time donors. The concentration of ferritin declined and the incidence of low ferritin in males and females increased along with accumulated donations during the past 12 months. 【Conclusions】 This is a large study of ferritin testing in Chinese plateletpheresis donors from multiple dimensions, which laid a foundation for further researches. Ferritin screening is necessary and helpful to reduce the risk of iron deficiency in plateletpheresis donors.
