Q

true or false. reverse typing before 3 to 6 months of age are considered valid

A

A

O
A2
B
A2B
A1
A1B

28
Q

weak A subgroups characteristics (4)

A

-decreased number of A antigen sites/RBC
-varying degrees of agglutination by human anti-A1B
-presence or absence of anti-A1 in the serum
-increased variability in the detectability of H antigen

29
Q

tests to subdivide A individuals

A

secretor studies, adsorption-elution tests, and molecular testing

30
Q

true or false. patients with Bombay phenotype can be transfused with O blood group

A

false. Bombay can only receive from another Bombay

31
Q

gene that mutated in Bombay type

A

FUTI (H gene)

32
Q

1st solution to resolve ABO discrepancy

A

repeat testing the same sample using a saline suspension of RBCs

33
Q

true or false. when a discrepancy is encountered, results must be recorded, but interpretation of the ABO type must be delayed until the discrepancy is resolved.

A

true

34
Q

discrepancy that is associated with unexpected reactions in the reverse typing due to weakly reacting or missing antibodies

A

group I discrepancies

35
Q

true or false. group I discrepancies are more common

A

true

36
Q

causes of group I discrepancies: (3)

A

newborns/elderly
leukemia/hypogammaglobulinemia
ABO abs diluted by plasma transfusion

37
Q

resolution of group I discrepancies

A

patient history - newborns/elderly
enhance weak/missing reaction - hypogammaglobulinemia (incubation, increase antigen, centrifugation)

38
Q

discrepancy associated with unexpected reactions in the forward typing due to weakly reaction or missing antigens

A

group II discrepancy

39
Q

causes of group II discrepancy (3)

A

subgroups of A or B
Hodgkins disease
acquired B

40
Q

resolution of group II discrepancy

A

enhance weak/missing reaction - (incubation, increase antigen, centrifugation)

41
Q

defined as the presence of two-cell populations

A

chimerism

42
Q

artificial chimera causes (4)

A

blood transfusions
transplanted bone marrows
exchange transfusions
fetal-maternal bleeding

43
Q

discrepancies caused by protein or plasma abnormalities

A

group III discrepancies

44
Q

result of group III discrepancies

A

rouleaux formation

45
Q

causes of group III discrepancies

A

elevated levels of globulin (Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia)
elevated levels of fibrinogen
wharton’s jelly

46
Q

resolution to remove pseudoaggregation of wharton’s jelly

A

wash 6-8x with saline

47
Q

resolution of group III discrepancy

A

replace serum with saline

48
Q

discrepancies due to miscellaneous problems

A

group IV discrepancies

49
Q

causes of group IV discrepancies:

A

-cold reactive autoantibodies
-patient has more than 1 ABO type due to RBC transfusion or narrow/stem cell transplant
-unexpected ABO isoagglutinins
-unexpected non-ABO alloantibodies

50
Q

resolution of group IV discrepancies

A

incubate > wash with saline 3x > retype

if not successful, add 0.01M DTT to disperse IgM-related agglutination
