Abstract
SHIMIZU, T., NODA, Y., GOTO, S., HASEGAWA, I. and FUKUDA, T. High Yield of Platelet-Rich Plasma from CPD Blood Compared to ACD Blood. Tohoku J. exp. Med., 1984, 143 (3), 381-382-The yields of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) obtained by centrifugation of CPD (citrate-phosphate-dextrose) blood and ACD (acid-citrate-phosphate) blood were compared. The volumes of PRP from 5ml blood in test tubes and 200ml blood in bags were larger by 4% and 4.5%, respectively, when CPD was used as an anticoagulant. In addition, the number of platelets in PRP from CPD blood was higher than that from ACD blood. These data suggest that the optimal centrifugal condition for CPD blood should be different from that for ACD blood.
