Analysis of influencing factors of serum total protein and serum calcium content in plasma donors

ABSTRACT:

Background and objectives

The adverse effects of plasma donation on the body has lowered the odds of donation. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of abnormal serum calcium and total serum protein related to plasma donation, identify the influencing factors, and come up with suggestions to make plasma donation safer.

Methods

Donors from 10 plasmapheresis centers in five provinces of China participated in this study. Serum samples were collected before donation. Serum calcium was measured by arsenazo III colorimetry, and the biuret method was used for total serum protein assay. An automatic biochemical analyzer was used to conduct serum calcium and total serum protein tests.

Results

The mean serum calcium was 2.3 ± 0.15 mmol/L and total serum p
