Blood Products Availability
April 08, 2025
Blood Products Availability is published biweekly on the AABB Newsfeed and in Weekly Report. This estimate is based on data from AABB's National Blood Exchange and is intended to complement the weekly Group O blood supply report.
Platelets
All known usage of platelets is being met by strong national surplus.
Red Blood Cells
There is low demand for Rh-positive units due to springtime saturation. Types A-negative and B-negative are stable. Ongoing usage of O-negative blood is served within 24 hours.
Frozen Products
The demand for most types of fresh frozen plasma is addressed immediately – usually within 24 hours. Type AB is the usual exception, with successful searches taking up to 72 hours. Cryoprecipitate products are abundant, and national levels continue to grow.
