Study Purpose
The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of refrigerated storage on the %IPF in blood from patients. Blood was allowed to come to room temperature before analysis.
Summary of Findings:
%IPF increased by 1.34 counts/h with refrigerated storage. The increase was not dependent on the initial concentration.
