Donor variation effect on red blood cell storage lesion: a multivariable, yet consistent, story

Abstract

Storage lesion indicators change in an orderly fashion, namely, by following donor-related prestorage attributes. These correlations are illustrated for the first time in "prestorage versus storage" biologic networks, which might help determine the best candidates for in vivo biomarkers of storage quality and provide deeper insight into the apparently complex donor variation effect on the RBC storage lesion.
