With platepheresis, up to THREE units of platelets can be given in on session, I know, I do it regularly. -- Unknown user?

I tried a cleanup. It's certainly better than before. I removed this text from Leukoreduction: "In comparison, a dose of platelets consist of multiple units of platelet concentrates may contain up to 6×108 white blood cells." I can't fix it because it doesn't make any sense. -- Taral 16:32, 26 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Some changes

While I haven't cleaned up this article much, I did fix some things and added new information. The original author had a 26-day interval between dontation. The proper guideline is three days, up to 26 times per year. He/she also had the anti-coagulant wrong. It is Sodium Citrate (not "citrus based"). The author also stated the coagulant binds to Vitamin C. This is incorrect. It binds to Calcium.

I added information on contraindicated drugs and the COBE Spectra.

[edit] More changes

I added some indications for transfusion as well as moved some stuff around (but didn't edit much) so it's now into four broad categories so hopefully it's now more readable =) Andrewr47 02:12, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
