title: [Glucose content in blood products].
abstract: The glucose content of the main blood products used in Hungary was determined, because the amount of glucose administred together with the blood products may have significance, especially at diabetic patients. The results revealed that there is a substantial difference in the glucose content of the different blood products and the glucose content of the individual products of the same kind may have also substantial difference. The glucose content of cell products depends also on the storage time. Washed red cell products can be ordered in glucose-free form, that is resuspended in glucose-free resuspension medium. Leukocyte concentrate contains hydroxyethyl starch, which will be hydrolysed into glucose in the circulation of the recipient.
