Effect of Plasma Unit Weight and Donor Sex on Post-Donation Citrate Level: An Experimental Study on Plasmapheresis Donors

Conclusion: Unit weight setting and sex influence an ACD-A shift from the estimated values toward an increased reinfusion to donor. In parallel, we observed an impact of age and sex on post-donation citrate metabolism. Altogether, these elements should be taken into account for the development of tailored approaches aimed at maintaining similar safety profiles for all donors using different plasmapheresis settings.Transfus Med Hemother
