Analbuminemia: report of a case and review of the literature.

abstract：BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES:A large number of European blood centres, including our own, use the buffy-coat method for platelet production. In this article we describe a previously unnoticed phenomenon shown by a proportion of buffy-coats, which display an unusually bright cherry colour and low platelet counts. MATERIAL...
