Hi, I once had blood that was 2 days from expiry. I thought to myself that I'd be back in within 2 weeks. I was having 3 weekly transfusions at the time. I was very pleasantly surprised that I went almost 4 weeks before I needed the next transfusion.
I know that Hb drop doesn't seem to have rhyme or reason but it did make me question the thinking that old blood didn't last long once transfused.
Regards
