Data of 507 granulocyte donations from 183 donors were evaluated. No severe granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF)-related side-effects were observed. Three donors complained of severe itching following infusion of hydroxyethyl starch (HES). A high proportion (85%) of the donors stated that they would donate granulocytes again. The mean granulocyte yield was 4.3 x 10(10). High-molecular-weight HES resulted in a significantly higher yield compared with low-molecular-weight HES. Mild, but no severe, adverse transfusion reactions were observed in 16% of the recipients. A leucocyte alloimmunization rate of 24% was found. G-CSF stimulation and transfusion of G-CSF-mobilized granulocytes were well tolerated by donors and recipients, respectively
