For a long time RBCs components have been prepared as concentrates. The concentrates of RBCS are suspended in nutrient additive solution. This preserves and extends the shelf-life of their, allowing up to 6-7 weeks of refrigerated storage. At now, clinical studies have identified that RBCs transfusion is risk factor for increased morbidities and mortalities in certain groups of patients (reviewed in). 4-6 Some of these studies have shown that transfusion of older preserved RBC causes more compli
