What Doctors Advice
Thanx niel,
The doctors here only advise AB+ blood and no other group. For platelets they suggest only the AB+ donor on cell seperator machine (SDP). In case of emergency and in absence of donor of AB+, they advise other blood group platelet on cell seperator machine (SDP). The platelet concentration from the same blood group AB+ is the last resort. Are they right ?
Is platelet refectoriness anything to do with what blood type platelet is being transfused ?
My father plaetelet increase from 10000 to 37000 after transfusion of 1 SDP unit (cell seperator machine) from same blood group AB+. Is the increase less ? Cos i find it increase in plaetlet count after transfusion on very much lesser side. The first transfusion in october 2010, with same blood group AB+ (SDP ) raised his platelet from 30000 to 80000.
regrds,
neel
