Popis: Solvent detergent-treated plasma (SDP) is a pathogen-inactivated blood plasma, which in comparison to frozen plasma is associated with lower rates of allergic reaction, transfusion-associated lung injury, and viral transmission. SDP has been available in Canada since 2012. Data on SDP use in Canada remains limited. We present a review of subjects receiving SDP at a large tertiary care centre primarily for thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura and atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome, demonstrating the tolerability and safety of SDP.
