The Relationship of PCLR Therapy on Hemoglobin Levels in Anemia Patients at BDRS MMC Jakarta (January-April 2022)

Abstract

Anemia is generally characterized by a decrease in hemoglobin levels. In terms of function, a decrease in hemoglobin causes a reduction in the body's need for oxygen in sufficient quantities. PCLR (Packed Red Cell Leukoreduced) is a concentrated red blood cell product obtained through the process of reducing leukocytes, so PCLR transfusion is expected to increase Hb levels in anemia patients. This study aims to determine the relationship between PCLR administration and hemoglobin levels in anemia patients and to determine the increase in hemoglobin levels after PCLR transfusion at MMC Hospital Blood Bank (BDRS MMC) Jakarta. Quantitative (analytical) research methods. The sample in this study was 140 data from anemia patients who underwent PCLR transfusion (January-April 2022). Data analysis was carried out univariate and bivariate. The research was carried out at MMC Jakarta Hospital in July 2022. Research results: the majority of patients were elderly (56-<65 years) 67 people (47.9%), the majority gender was female 82 people (58.6%); there was an increase in Hb levels after PCLR transfusion, namely 1.89 gr/dL with an average use of 2 bags; and there is a relationship between PCLR administration and hemoglobin levels in anemia patients at BDRS MMC Jakarta. Suggestion: to achieve an increase in hemoglobin in anemia patients, PCLR can be used as a blood component of choice for transfusion at the right dose.
