The effect of gamma-irradiation on platelet metabolic state inPRP-platelet concentrates during storage Kiani Nodeh F.1, Ghasemzadeh M.1, Hosseini E.1 1Blood Transfusion Research Center, High Institute for Research and Education in Transfusion Medicine, Tehran, Iran Abstract Background and Objectives Gamma irradiation (GI) of platelet concentrates (PCs) is done to prevent the risk of Transfusion associated graft versus host disease (TA-GVHD). However, some of studies indicate a lower post-transfusion responses and aggravation of platelet storage lesion (PSL) after GI. In this study, the effect of GI on the platelet metabolic status in stored PRP-PCs was investigated.
Materials and Methods in our experimental study, 10 PRP-PC were randomly obtained from Iranian Blood Transfusion Organization (IBTO). Then, two ABO- and D matched PRP-PC units were pooled and splited into two bags, one kept as control while other was gamma-irradiated with 30 Gray. Within 7-day storage, glucose concentration and LDH activity were measured by enzymo-colorimetric method. PLT count and pH were measured using a hematology whole blood analyzer and the pH meter, respectively. Swirling was evaluated by visual assessment. Statistical data were analyzed by Kruskal-Wallis test with Dunn’s multiple comparison test and Wilcoxon Mached-Pair test. P values of less than 0.05 were considered to be significant.
Results Swirling was maintained in both groups throughout the storage period. Platelet count significantly decreased on Days 5 and 7 of storage but there was no significant difference between irradiated and non-irradiated PCs. Glucose decreased whilst LDH activity increased during storage period. The increments of LDH activities were significant on Days 5 (P<.05) and 7 of storage (P<.01) in non-irradiated groups.
Conclusions The quality of irradiated PCs is well maintained throughout the storage period, with minimal difference in metabolic parameters compared to non-irradiated PLTs.
