A 70-yr-old woman was scheduled for hepatectomy and colectomy. We gave general anesthesia with N2O-O2-Isoflurane and continuous epidural block. About 4.5 hours after the start of the operation, 8 units of irradiated RBC-MAP were transfused. Then elevated T waves were noted and serum potassium was increased to 5.4 mmol.l-1. The transfusion of RBC-MAP was stopped and calcium gluconate was administered immediately. Then serum potassium decreased to 4.3 mmol.l-1 and ECG returned to normal. During the operation, 10 units of irradiated RBC-MAP were transfused and 8 units of them had been stored more than 1 week after the irradiation. We suspect that hyperkalemia was induced by high concentration of potassium in RBC-MAP. Irradiation of blood products is an effective way to prevent post-transfusion graft versus host disease. However, the increase in potassium is greater in the irradiated than nonirradiated RBC-MAP. We must pay attention to the high concentration of potassium in th eplasma of RBC-MAP stored after irradiation.
