Abstract. Serum erythropoietin has been measured before and after transfusion of blood stored in acid citrate dextrose for varying periods of time. A greater fall in erythropoietin was found following the transfusion of fresh blood than after an equal amount of stored blood in which 2,3‐diphosphoglycerate concentrations were depleted. This confirms the expectations that in vivo tissue oxygenation is influenced by the oxygen affinity of transfused blood.
