Effects of Storage of Blood on Stability of Hematologic Parameters

摘要: The hematologic parameters of blood stored at 4 degrees C and room temperature were studied. In with intermittent mixing, leukocyte count, hemoglobin, erythrocyte mean corpuscular volume (MCV), hematocrit, hemoglobin concentration (MCHC), platelet count showed no statistically significant change for three days. Blood a increase in MCV 24 hours, corresponding changes occurred hematocrit MCHC. It is concluded from these observations that normal healthy donors can serve as an adequate control the Coulter Counter days if kept mixed intermittently.
