This study includes 300 healthy volunteer donors. Analysis of stored blood was done at 0, 3, 7, 14- and 21-days interval. Data were recorded and analyzed in SPSS v 20. A p value of less than 0.05 was taken as significant.</p> <p><em><strong>Results:</strong></em> Three hundred healthy volunteer donors were included in the study in which 63% were male and 37% were females. Mean age was 26.54±7.3 years with age range from 23-46 years. Out of 300 donors 15.33% were O+, 35.33%, 9.66% B+, 8.33% A+, 7.66% AB+, 7.66% O-, 7% A- and 9% B-. Significant. Changes were observed in serum potassium, LDH, pH, serum chloride, serum sodium and AST levels. (p:&lt;0.001). however, storage did not affect rest of the parameters.</p> <p><em><strong>Conclusion:</strong> </em>This study reveals that during storage certain changes occur in haematological and biochemical parameters which ultimately may put patients at risk.</p> <p><strong>doi: https://doi.org/10.12669/pjms.35.6.220</strong></p> <p><em><strong>How to cite this:</strong></em><br>Al-Moshary M, Al-Mussaed E, Arab-din M.
