Abstract

Changes in oxygen transport and delivery noted in many diseases are related to altered concentrations of organic phosphates in red blood cells, primarily 2,3-diphosphoglycerate. Elevated 2,3-DPG levels enhance delivery of oxygen to the tissues; lowered levels compromise oxygen delivery. Maintaining 2,3-DPG levels in stored blood is of particular concern.
