Apheresis

What is Apheresis?

Blood has several components, including red blood cells, platelets, plasma and stem cells. Apheresis is a special type of donation in which a specific component, viz. platelets, granulocytes (white cells), plasma or stem cells are withdrawn from a donor using special equipment called a Cell Separator: the remaining components are returned to the donor’s blood circulation. It is a very safe procedure.
 

What is the advantage of Apheresis?

Random Donor Platelets prepared from one unit of whole blood contains less number of platelets. For a therapeutic dose of platelets for an adult patient, 6-8 units of random donors platelets are required, while one unit of platelets prepared by apheresis is equivalent. Besides platelets prepared by apheresis are leukocytes reduced? Thus there are fewer chances of transfusion transmitted-infections and platelet refractoriness with the use of apheresis platelets.
