Abstract:
The preparation of platelet concentrates by automated apheresis started in the early 1970s. Originally intended to increase the amount of platelets from selected (HLA compatible) donors to supply HLA-immunized patients, plateletpheresis has permanently expanded. Further development of plateletpheresis is described. Considering medical and economical perspectives, actual trends and possible future developments of plateletpheresis are discussed.
