Currently, more than 350 units of rare blood are stored in frozen form in the Iranian Blood Transfusion Organization freezing department at -65 to -85 degrees, of which about 100 units are very rare blood groups. About 20 to 30 bags of rare blood are used nationwide annually. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #rareblood #bloodbank #blooddonation #frozenblood #bloodunits

Cryoprecipitate is likely to be at least as effective if not superior to fibrinogen concentrate or cryopreserved platelets, in severe thrombocytopenia. Transfusion of these frozen or lyophilised products may be of value in centres where RT-stored platelets are not available.

Blood typing is a method used to determine your blood type. It is essential for safe blood donation or receiving a blood transfusion. The process also identifies the presence of the Rh factor on the surface of red blood cells. Your blood type is determined by the presence or absence of certain proteins, known as antigens, on your red blood cells. These antigens are inherited from your parents. #Blood is commonly categorized using the ABO blood typing system, which includes four major blood types: Type A🩸 Type B🩸 Type AB🩸 Type O🩸 In this picture, the person's blood group is AB positive (+).

Thalassemia The blood picture often shows microcytic hypochromic red blood cells, indicating smaller and paler cells than normal. Anemia, characterized by a low red blood cell count, may be present. Additionally, a blood smear might reveal target cells, nucleated red blood cells, Teardrop cells and other abnormalities depending on the severity and type of thalassemia. . . . #FBC #thalassemia #bloodpicture #anemia

Blood banks depend on people to donate blood and blood components. When blood is collected from a donor, it’s processed to remove red blood cells and plasma (the liquid part of blood), which are used for transfusions.🩸 The remaining white blood cells and platelets are stored in a cryopreservation solution and frozen at temperatures below -80°C.❄️ Blood storage is an important process in the blood banking industry. It helps maintain the quality of blood and its medical effectiveness. Blood can be stored in a few different ways, but the most common method is refrigeration. This process keeps the cells alive until they are needed for transfusion. As soon as the blood is collected from a donor, it must be stored at the right temperature in order to preserve its vital cells, proteins, and molecules.🧬🧪 Storage of blood products in a blood bank is important as they can create a stable supply of safe blood that can be stored for years without losing its effectiveness.
