title: [Effect of leukocyte depleting polyester filters on thrombocytapheresis concentrates].
abstract: We studied platelet loss, leukocyte depletion, T/B cell ratio, platelet morphology and platelet function (aggregation, hypotonic shock reaction, retention and retraction) prior to and after filtration through two different polyester filters (Sepacell PL-5A, Pall PL100) as well as the posttransfusional platelet increment 1 h after transfusion in 8 pairs of single-donor platelet concentrates (Cobe Spectra, Fresenius AS 104). Leukocyte depletion was effective (>99.9%) and platelet loss acceptable in both filters, all tests showing no indication of a diminished platelet function by filtration.
