The Outcomes of Hypertransfusion in Major ABO Incompatible Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplantation

The Outcomes of Hypertransfusion in Major ABO Incompatible Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplantation

Major ABO incompatibility may be potentially associated with immediate or delayed hemolysis and delayed onset of erythropoiesis in patients receiving allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). To determine if hemolysis can be prevented by the inhibition of graft erythropoiesis, we performed hypertransfusion and assessed red cell transfusion requirement and independence. Between ...

Clinical guide to ABO-incompatible allogeneic stem cell transplantation.

The independent genomic inheritance of the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) and the ABO-blood group system allows for HLA-matched hematopoietic progenitor cell transplantation (HCT) to occur in donors who are not matched for ABO blood groups. In fact, nearly one-half of all HCT will involve recipient-donor ABO incompatibility. This places the recipient at increased risk for acute and delayed hemol...

AB0-incompatible allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

ABO-Mismatched Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation.

Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is a curative option for a variety of malignant and non-malignant hematological and congenital diseases. Due to the fact that the human leukocyte antigen system is inherited independently of the blood group system, approximately 40-50% of all HSCTs are performed across the ABO blood group barrier. The expected immune-hematological conseq...
