Impact of allogeneic 2-RBC apheresis on iron stores of Brazilian blood donors

Abstract One limiting factor for automated two-red blood cells collections (2-RBC) is its potential iron depletion. We analyzed hematological parameters and iron balance before, two and four months after 2-RBC of 96 non-supplemented male donors. Four months after 2-RBC, ferritin level was significan...

Zusammenfassung:Abstract One limiting factor for automated two-red blood cells collections (2-RBC) is its potential iron depletion. We analyzed hematological parameters and iron balance before, two and four months after 2-RBC of 96 non-supplemented male donors. Four months after 2-RBC, ferritin level was significantly lower ( P < 0.01) than baseline levels and the number of donors who presented ferritin
