ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Cryoprecipitate (CRYO) is neither produced nor supplied by the Japanese Red Cross Society. A novel CRYO extraction method established in-house by modifying a thaw-siphon technique was demonstrated in this study. STUDY DESIGN ANDMETHODS:
A pack of fresh frozen plasma was thawed and equally divided into two bags for CRYO extraction by different methods. CRYO was extracted from the blood plasma using a standard centrifugation method and our modified thaw-siphon method (Bokutoh-siphon method; B method). The two different CRYOs extracted were analyzed to compare the differences in the amount of fibrinogen recovered, clotting factors extracted, and clotting activity.RESULTS:
The amount of fibrinogen in the CRYO extracted using the B-siphon method was similar to that obtained using the standard method (recovery of fibrinogen B-siphonmethod:
71.2% vs. standardmethod:
61.0%). The amount of clotting XIII factor extracted using the B-siphon method was significantly lower than those extracted using the standard method. On the other hand, clotting II, V factors, and C1q esterase inhibitor not concentrated in CRYO content from the B-siphon method were significantly higher than that from the standard method.CONCLUSION:
A new in-house CRYO preparation method was established by modifying a previously used thaw-siphon method. A coagulation factor-rich CRYO was extracted from plasma frozen at -40°C along with the first fraction of thawed plasma, without using a large-capacity refrigerated centrifuge for blood bags.Palavras-chave
