Immunomodulatory mediators in platelet transfusion reactions.
نویسنده
چکیده
Our appreciation of the roles that platelets play in vascular biology is constantly expanding. One of the major roles of platelets is in initiating and accelerating immune responses. Platelet transfusion may be associated with adverse inflammatory outcomes manifested as fever, discomfort, tachycardia, and respiratory issues. This may in part be due to immune mediators either expressed by activated platelets or released into the platelet media during platelet storage. This review will highlight some more recent knowledge gained regarding the platelet storage lesion and potential mediators of platelet transfusion reactions.

Infusible Platelet Membrane versus Conventional Platelet Concentrate: Benefits and Disadvantages
Blood transfusion centers are under considerable pressure to produce platelet concentrates with a shelf life limit of 3 to 5 days. Many approaches have been investigated experimentally to produce new hemostatically active platelet products that are capable of long term storage. In this article infusible platelet membrane will be explained as a platelet substitute versus conventional liquid-stor...
متن کاملPlatelet Septic Transfusion Reactions in Patients With Hemato-Oncological Diseases
Background & Objective: Bacterial, contamination of blood components are a significant risk for transfusion reactions. Inherently, platelet concentrates (PCs) are vulnerable to bacterial contamination, due to the storage condition of processed PCs at room temperature, which provide very suitable conditions for the proliferation of microorganisms....
متن کاملPlatelet Transfusion – The New Immunology of an Old Therapy
Platelet transfusion has been a vital therapeutic approach in patients with hematologic malignancies for close to half a century. Randomized trials show that prophylactic platelet transfusions mitigate bleeding in patients with acute myeloid leukemia. However, even with prophylactic transfusions, as many as 75% of patients, experience hemorrhage. While platelet transfusion efficacy is modest, q...
متن کاملA prospective observational study of the effect of platelet transfusions on levels of platelet-derived cytokines, chemokines and interleukins in acute leukaemia patients with severe chemotherapy-induced cytopenia.
BACKGROUND Platelet concentrates contain soluble mediators derived from both platelets and contaminating leukocytes. During platelet transfusion these mediators are transferred, and transfusion-induced modulation of the cytokine network may then occur, possibly contributing to transfusion reactions, immunomodulation, or affecting residual leukemic cells. In this prospective observational study,...
متن کاملAn Overview on Platelet-derived Microparticles in Platelet Concentrates: blood collection, method preparation and storage
Preparations of platelet concentrates (PCs) that are stored under blood bank conditions and used for transfusion purposes, appear to be enriched in platelet derived-microparticles (PMPs) with high coagulant activity that may change platelet efficacy and safety issues. High shear stress could cause shedding of PMPs from the platelet plasma membrane, platelet aggregation, and activation of the co...
