Background: Kpa antigen is a low incidence red blood cell antigen within the Kell system. Anti-Kpa alloantibody may be associated with acute and delayed hemolytic transfusion reactions.
Case Study: We report a case of a clinically significant acute extravascular hemolytic transfusion reaction mediated by previously unrecognized (and undetected) anti-Kpa alloantibody.
Background: Thrombocytopenia occurs commonly after hematopoietic progenitor cell transplantation (HPCT) and is associated with potential morbidity and mortality. Few studies have examined the impact of platelet (PLT) transfusion on clinical outcomes in HPCT while optimal PLT transfusion strategies after HSCT remain uncertain.
Study Design And Methods: A retrospective single-center cohort study was conducted on 522 patients undergoing HPCT between January 2002 and December 2007.
Background: Although the National blood system in Canada reduces the risk of inventory shortages the possibility of a blood supply shortage still exists. The Ontario Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care developed a provincial plan to manage blood transfusion needs and inventory in the event of a National blood shortage. The Ontario plan was developed to align with the National plan as well as other provincial plans in order to ensure consistency in blood management strategies across the country.
