Description
Molecular immunohematology is poised to address non-ABO hemolytic transfusion reactions including: the prevention of alloimmunization through "dry matching" of red cell transfusions by genotype only, antibody evanescence, and the appropriate support for rare blood group haplotypes in chronic transfusion and marrow transplantation, as in patients with sickle cell disease. This education session is designed to challenge the transfusion scientific community to think about the impact that molecular immunohematology has on complex problems in transfusion. How can red cell alloimmunization be curtailed? What advantages can be had by dry matching donor "liquid organs" to patients? How can blood group genotyping be used to improve the support of chronically transfused and transplanted patients? Join us for presentations and discussions at the leading edge of applications in molecular immunohematology.
