Detection of Autologous DEHP (DiEthylHexyl Phthalate)-Free Blood Transfusion in Anti-doping

April 17, 2015 updated by: Nicolas Leuenberger, Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Vaudois

Detection of Autologous DEHP (DiEthylHexyl Phthalate)-Free Blood Transfusion Using a Combination of Multiple Biomarkers in Different Matrices.

The aim of the proposed project is to perform a clinical study in which volunteers will receive autologous blood transfusions in DEHP-free blood bags.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Measurement of blood parameters profile, iron metabolism and genomic compounds
Time Frame: 1 month

Blood profiling such as measurement of concentration of different blood cells and hemoglobin will be measured up to 15 days after blood-reinfusion. Concentration of free-iron, ferritin and hepcidin will be measured in plasma and serum up to 15 days after blood re-infusion.

Concentration of circulating microRNAs will be measured in plasma also up to 15 days after blood re-infusion. All measures are compared.
