Abstract
Abstract Blood collected from donors with sickle cell trait was stored under routine blood bank conditions. Erythrocyte survival studies, begun 1, 8, 15, and 17 days following collection, revealed no significant reduction over what might be expected in stored blood from donors with the hemoglobin genotype AA. Following 20 to 21 days of storage of AS erythrocytes, there may be 2 populations of cells present; a smaller relatively fragile population and a considerably larger normally resistant population. Blood obtained from sickle cell trait donors provides no additional risk of hemolysis to the recipient and may, therefore, be treated in a routine fashion in the blood bank.
