Dr Mitali Sharma, Dr Ankur Malhotra, Dr Isha Sunil

Abstract :

Plateletpheresis is a method used to remove platelet from the body either from random volunteer donors, patient�s family members or HLA matched donors. A prospective study was carried out on 57 plateletpheresis donors aged between 18 and 60 years .

Material and Method:

We compared the coagulation parameters before and after plateletpheresis of 57 donors over a period of one year

Results:

There were significant changes in blood coagulation parameters but it is within acceptable range.

Conclusion:

This study showed significant changes in blood coagulation parameters, however changes were within normal range. In conclusion, plateletpheresis is a safe procedure for healthy donors.
