A comparison of washed and volume‐reduced platelets with respect to platelet activation, aggregation, and plasma protein removal

BACKGROUND: Washed or volume‐reduced platelets (PLTs) are occasionally requested for patients with a history of allergic or anaphylactic transfusion reactions. However, conclusive data are not available as to which method is more suitable.
