Blood cell transfusion: Whole blood transfusion, red blood cell transfusion and platelet concentrate transfusion: Autologous platelet concentrates: From 103 up to 111 autologous platelet concentrates

You have been given blood platelets more than once.

Blood is made up of a liquid part and different blood cells, among other things. The blood cells include the red blood cells, the white blood cells and the platelets. Platelets are important for blood clotting.

Blood or blood components are usually administered via a blood vessel, for example in the elbow.

You probably have proteins in your blood that are attacking foreign platelets. So the platelets were prepared in a particular way beforehand.
