Transfusion‐related exposure to the plasticizer di(2‐ethylhexyl)phthalate in patients receiving plateletpheresis concentrates

Abstract

Recipients of PCs are exposed to DEHP, although the total amount represents only a small percentage of the defined tolerable intake. Reduction of storage time, the storage of PC in T-Sol, or the exchange of the storage medium before transfusion are practicable means to reduce the DEHP load in PC.
