Stored blood purification on activated charcoals.

The application of the hemosorption technique for storage, preservation and transfusion of the donor blood will result in a substantial increase in effectiveness of its application in numerous practically important situations, including even such as massive and exchange transfusion, or in patients with renal or liver insufficiency. Especially the metabolism of the erythrocytes, the intra- and extracellularic electrolyte supply of the blood and the pH level of the blood will be corrected according to the norm. Harmful products of the metabolism, microclots and impaired cells will also be reduced. The osmotic resistance of the erythrocytes rises significantly, the viscosity of the blood and the HBS-antigen level decrease.
