Abstract

Background: Plateletpheresis is a procedure where the whole blood is processed from a donor and the platelets are separated and the remaining blood components are returned back to the donor. Adverse reactions of variable severity may occur during or after the procedure. Adverse reactions that occur in donors can be divided into local reactions and systemic reactions.

Methods: In this study 65 healthy voluntary donors were enrolled after taking the informed written consent and adverse donor reactions of plateletpheresis were noted.

Results: It was observed that out of 65 donors, only three donors had adverse reactions during plateletphersis. Citrate toxicity was seen in one donor (1.6%) ,one donor (1.6%) had bruising on the arm at venipuncture site and  another one donor had vasovagal reactions (1.6%) occur mainly in the form of sweating.

Conclusion: Plateletpheresis is one of the well tolerated procedure in which adverse reactions were managed conservatively and rarely need hospitalization.

Keywords: Adverse reactions, Plateletpheresis, Citrate toxicity, vasovagal reactions.
