Table 3
Packed red blood cell (PRBCs) storage lesion.
| RBC storage lesion | Structural (i) Lose membrane phospholipids (ii) Shape change (iii) Clumping | Biochemical (i) ↓ ATP (ii) ↓ 2,3-DPG (iii) ↓ NO. | Immunological (soluble bioactive substances) (i) Microparticles (ii) Cell-free DNA (iii) Bioactive lipids |
| Complications | Cellular necrosis | (i) Impaired vasodilation (ii) O2 delivery | (i) Inflammation (ii) Infection (iii) Hypercoagulability (iv) Endothelial injury |
| Outcomes | (i) ↓ Microvascular perfusion and O2 (ii) ↑ MOF and death |
