Platelet products have been increasingly used for more than 50 years. Platelet transfusion is effective for correcting bleeding caused by thrombocytopenia and platelet function defects. In this review, we will outline research on platelet transfusion in China including platelet biosafety, cryopreservation of platelets, the assessment of the effectiveness of platelet transfusion, the causes of platelet transfusion refractoriness including immunization against CD36, and neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia.

History
The history of blood transfusion dates back to the 17th century, when early attempts were made in animals. In 1818 James Blundell, a British doctor, performed the first successful human blood transfusion. Later in 1900, Karl...
01:18Structure and Function of Platelets
Platelets are continually replenished, circulating in the bloodstream for 9-12 days before being removed by phagocytes, primarily in the spleen. A microliter of circulating blood contains between 150,000 and 450,000...
