Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (2)
Donor DNA (# of loci with triplets or quadruplets):
Clearance Kinetics of donor DNA which is transferred during the transfusion of one bag of homologous blood will be established.
12 months
Cellular Microparticles (10^3/uL):
Clearance Kinetics of cellular microparticles which are introduced during an autologous blood transfusion and are originating from red blood cells during blood storage will be established.
12 months
Study Arms (2)
Healthy Subjects
EXPERIMENTALSix healthy subjects will receive an ABT (Autologous Blood Transfusion)
Anemic Patients
EXPERIMENTALSix patients with anemia will receive a HBT (Homologous Blood Transfusion)
Interventions
Homologous, or allogenic, blood transfusions involves someone collecting and infusing the blood of a compatible donor into him/herself.
Autologous blood transfusion is the collection and re-infusion of the patient's own blood or blood components.
