Lipid peroxidation marker levels and basic laboratory health indicators of blood donors during wartime: possible consequences for preserved packed red blood cells quality

Abstract

The revealed features of the pro-oxidant activity of blood donors can influence the stability of their erythrocytes to standard long-term storage conditions at a temperature of 4-6 °C. Further research in the direction of analyzing the relationships between oxidative stress markers, in particular the lipoperoxidation activity, as special parameters of the donor, as well as substantiating the feasibility of considering these and other additional donor factors of the rate of erythrocyte aging development during storage are promising from the point of view of finding ways to improve the blood component quality.
