Interleukin-8 levels in stored red blood cells
Part of Blood & lymphatic clinical trials.
This study measures a substance called interleukin-8 in packed red blood cells donated by healthy people. It aims to understand how this substance changes during storage, which may help improve blood transfusions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at how storing whole blood from group O donors affects blood cells and inflammation. It may help improve blood transfusions for patients.
This study looks at markers in the blood to understand why low red blood cell counts (anemia) can cause bleeding problems in people with certain leukemias. It may help find better ways to treat or prevent bleeding during early chemotherapy.
This study compares the levels of two immune markers (IL-40 and IL-41) in the blood of people with sepsis or septic shock versus healthy individuals. It aims to see if these markers can help doctors better understand or diagnose severe infections.
This study tests a special way to label your own red blood cells so doctors can track how long they survive in your body. It helps improve how we measure blood cell recovery after transfusion.
This study looks at levels of certain immune system proteins (IL-6, IL-12, IL-15, and IL-23) in the blood of people with rheumatoid arthritis. It aims to understand how these proteins relate to the disease and may help guide future treatments for better outcomes.
This study looks at how a person’s immune cells interact with bacterial germs. You’d be screened as healthy and may donate blood (and possibly tissue), with samples stored for future research.
