Abstract

The study was conducted to evaluate the composition and safety of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) in the treatment of musculoskeletal diseases at Hanoi Medical University Hospital. This is a prospective descriptive study on 31 research subjects. The results showed that the average number of platelets in the PRP block was 743.61 ± 226.37 G/L. The recovery rate of blood cell types including platelets, red blood cells, and white blood cells in PRP is 75.97%, 0.74%, 6.69% respectively. All PRP after extraction have high purity and has negative test result for infection. All study subjects did not have serious side effects, only 41.9% of study subjects had mild pain after PRP injection. The number of white blood cells in the PRP of the group with mild joint pain after PRP injection was 2.66 ± 1.83 G/L; white blood cells numbers of the group without side effects was 1.36 ± 0.71 G/L. The difference in the number of leukocytes in the PRP between the 2 groups is statistically significant with p < 0.05.
