Abstract
Bone marrow transplant (BMT) patients, although immunosuppressed, are at risk for the development of red cell (RBC) and HLA antibodies, and they often are given filtered blood in an effort to prevent the latter complication. This study attempts to determine the rate of formation and the specificity of both RBC and HLA alloantibodies in this patient population. BMT patients (148 received autologous marrow; 45 received allogeneic marrow) from an 18-month period, including patients with leukemia (57 patients), lymphoma (54), breast cancer (68), myeloma (8), myelodysplastic syndrome (5), and aplastic anemia (1), were studied to determine the rate of alloantibody formation to RBC and HLA antigens. A total of 2,410 RBC antibody screens were performed. The patients received 3,921 packed RBCs and 5,915 single-donor platelet units; all were irradiated and administered via white cell-reduction filters. Seven (3.6%) of 193 patients had RBC antibodies upon hospital admission. Four (2.1%) of 193 developed RBC antibodies during the course of BMT: 3 patients had one RBC antibody and 1 patient had two RBC antibodies. RBC antibodies included anti-E (n = 2), anti-M (n = 1), anti-Jkb (n = 1), and anti-Lu14 (n = 1). Thus, 98 percent of patients (1...Continue Reading
