The sucrose-poor, electrolyte-rich SAG-sucrose preservation solution for red cell concentrates (RCC) proves to be superior to the sucrose-rich electrolyte-poor CDS-AG solution. After 35 days about 50% of the initial ATP were found and the 24 hours posttransfusion survival rate amounted to 76%. The replacement of sucrose by mannitol or sorbitol did not influence the metabolism of red cells. Guanosine-final concentration 0.4 mmol/l RCC-slightly improved the maintenance of ATP and morphology.
