The impact of citrate concentration on adhesion of platelets and leukocytes to adsorbents in whole blood lipoprotein apheresis

In conclusion, citrate influences activation and adhesion of platelets and leukocytes in a concentration‐dependent manner, and ACD‐A 1:20, equivalent to a citrate concentration of 5.6 mM in whole blood, ensures minimal cellular activation during passage of whole blood over polyacrylate‐based adsorbents.
