Suppression of Transfusion - Related Alloimmunization in Intensively

چکیده
A retrospective review of HIA antibody testing and transfusion records of 1 00 cancer patients who required extensive platelet support revealed that 27 of 1 00 patients exhibited positive HLA antibody tests; only 13 remained positive on repetitive examination, while 88% of aplastic anemia patients so tested were positive. Sixty-five patients with leukemia, 1 6 with Ewing’s sarcoma, and 19 with recurrent undifferentiated lymphoma were studied. Each patient received at least 10 U of platelets (mean of 72). HLA antibodies were detected in 31 % (20/65) of the leukemias, 12% (2/16) of the Ewing’s. and 26% (5/19) of the lymphoma patients. Fourteen of the 27 patients who developed antibodies became antibody negative again

Red Blood Cells Alloimmunization and Autoimmunization in Multi-transfused Thalassemia Patients in South of Iran
Background: Recurrent blood transfusion is a common treatment in patients with thalassemia. The development of antibodies against red blood cell (RBC) antigens complicates RBC cross-matching, enhances the in vivo destruction of transfused cells, accelerates tissue iron overloading, delays the provision of safe transfusion, and reduces health-related quality of life. Materials and Methods: In t...

Background: Transfusion is the mainstay treatment of patients with thalassemia major and occasionally in thalassemia intermediate. Alloimmunization is an unwanted side effect of blood transfusion. The present study intended to determine the frequency of alloimmunization in patients with β- thalassemia major and thalassemia intermediate in Southwest Iran. Patients and Methods: This was a cross-...

Abstract Background and Objectives Blood transfusion related alloimmunization is common among patients receiving regular blood transfusion, especially thalassemia patients. In this study we aimed to find the prevalence of alloimmunization among patients of thalassemia. Materials and Methods In this desciptional study, we screened 305 thalassemia patients (53.8% female and 46.2% male, age ...

Abstract Background and Objectives Human platelet antigens (HPAs) are polymorphic structures located on the membrane of platelets (PLTs). These antigens have important role in clinical situations like refractoriness to platelet transfusion which is the most important cause of transfusion related mortality and morbidity in patients by recurrent platelet transfusion. Alloimmunization against the...
متن کاملFactors Influencing RBC Alloimmunization: Lessons Learned from Murine Models.
Red blood cell (RBC) alloimmunization may occur following transfusion or pregnancy/delivery. Although observational human studies have described the immunogenicity of RBC antigens and the clinical significance of RBC alloantibodies, studies of factors influencing RBC alloimmunization in humans are inherently limited by the large number of independent variables involved. This manuscript reviews ...
