Blood and Blood Components: From Similarities to Differences
نویسندگان
چکیده
Blood transfusion is made possible because, in most countries and organizations, altrui stic individuals voluntarily, anonymously, and generously donate (without compensation) either whole blood or separated components that are then processed and distributed by professionals, prior to being allocated to recipients in need. Being part of modern medicine, blood transfusion uses socalled standard blood components when relative to cellular fractions and fresh plasma. However, as will be discussed in this paper, strictly speaking, such socalled labile blood components are not completely standard. Furthermore, the prevalent system based on voluntary, nonremunerated blood donation is not yet universal and, despite claims by the World Health Organization that 100% of blood collection will be derived from altruistic donations by 2020 (postponed to 2025), many obstacles may hinder this ambition, especially when relative to the collection of the enormous amount of plasma destined for fractionation into plasma derivative or drugs. Finally, country organizations also vary due to the economy, sociology, politics, and epi demiology. This paper then, discusses the particulars (of which ethical considerations) of blood transfusion diversity and the consequences for donors, patients, and society.
