Q

What are the biochemical stored in blood?

A

1) Citrate-binds to calcium to prevent clotting
2) phosphate is a buffer
3) Dextrose is RBC’s energy source-allowing glycolysis and maintain ATP
4) Adenine prolongs RBC’s life span 21-35 days, allowing RBC to resynthesize ATP for fuel use

Q

What happen to RBCs as the length of storage increased? (>35 days)

A

1) elevated potassium

Q

Platelets and transfusion guides

A
