Sixty patients aged between 60 and 75 years old of both sex of ASA physical status I and II
were included in this randomized study who were divided into the study group of 30 patients
who had been transfused autologous blood and the control group of 30 patients who had been
transfused only allogeneic blood. Parenteral iron preparation was given to all patients of
the study group after each donation. Intraoperatively all patients of the study group
received 2 grams of intravenous tranexamic acid. This study was conducted through the
laboratory analysis of the hemoglobin and the hematocrit values during blood donation and for
both groups in the pre-operative and the post-operative period and the assessment of the
