The intriguing relationship between screen filtration pressure, quantity of microaggregates and amount of debris in stored human blood.
Screen filtration pressure (SFP), quantity of microaggregates and debris weight were measured in stored human blood. The number of aggregates correlated with the debris weight but not with SFP. No correlation was seen between the debris weight and SFP. The mechanisms behind and the functional importance of these findings are outlined.
