Q

Principles of DAT

A
  • EDTA: anticoagulation blood samples

Q

Steps of DAT

A
  • Wash RBC: remove plasma free globulin and complements
  • Polyspecific AHG
  • If positive, monospecific reagent (anti-IgG and anti-complement) - If umbilical cord —> ok to use IgG only
  • -> DAT is not dx of hemolytic anemia. Need to check pt’s history

Q

Warm autoimmune hemolytic Anemia (WAIHA)

A
  • 60-70% Immune hemolytic anemia
  • Against high-frequency antigens on RBC (Rh proteins)
  • Can be secondary to other disease such as: leukamia lymphoma, lupus
  • AutoAb: IgG
  • Elute: panagglutinin pattern in most cases.
20
Q

WAIHA - Lab test

A
  • Polyspecific AHG: Usually positive
  • anti-IgG: Usually positive
  • anti-C3: Can be positive
  • 20% only IgG, 67% both, 13% only C3
21
Q

WAIHA - Treatment

A
  • Steroid, immunosuppressive drugs, splenectomy
  • Supportive blood transfusion if needed
  • Transfusion requires: Antibody ID studies (autoantibody, alloantibody, or both) –> Transfusion accepted in severe case but MUST r/o the presence of alloantibodies
22
Q

WAIHA - Transfusion

A
  • Phenotypically matched unit
  • R/O underlying alloantibodies, using less sensitive methods such as LISS/saline
  • Autoadsorption: treat pt with their own RBC to remove found IgG, modified cells are incubated with pt serums
  • Alloadsorption: if pt has been transfused, severe case, not enough sample –> use RBC antigen negative
23
Q

Cold Agglutinin Disease (CAD)

A
  • 16-30% of immune hemolytic anemia
  • Autoab: mostly IgM, rare IgG and IgGA
  • Cold auto-ab facilitate RBC destruction
  • 2nd disease assc. with mycoplasma pneumonia (anti-I, anti-IH) and infectious mononucleosis (anti-i)
24
Q

CAD - Lab test

A
  • Polyspecific: pos
  • anti-IgG: non-reactive
  • anti-C3: pos
  • May need to maintain at 37C when testing
  • Auto-Ab: anti-I, anti-IH, anti-i, anti-Pr
25
Q

CAD - other helpful tests

A
  • Antibody titer: two-fold dilution –> High titer (usually > 1:64)
  • Thermal amplitude –> Wide thermal amplitude
  • Adsorption (auto & allo) at 4C to r/o underlying alloantibodies
26
Q

CAD - Treatment

A
  • Avoid corticosteroids
  • Keep pt warm
  • Anti-CD20 has 50% response rate
  • Severe case: remove Ab via plasmapheresis
27
Q

Paroxysmal Cold Hemoglobinuria (PCH)

A
  • Rarest form
  • Common in children as 2ndary disease to transient viral infection
  • Was described with syphillis
  • Biphasic IgG auto-ab
28
Q

PCH - Lab test

A
  • Polyspecific: pos
  • anti-IgG: neg - non reactive
  • anti-C3: pos
  • Biphasic
  • Diagnostic with Donath Landsteiner test
  • Usually anti-P specificity
29
Q

PCH - Treatment

A
  • Self-limited
  • Transfusion if needed with warm blood
  • P-neg unit is not needed
30
Q

Donath-Landsteiner Test

A
  • 3 sets of 3 tubes: patient serum, pt serum + normal serum, normal serum
  • Each sets was incubated at different temp: ice, 37C, ice and then 37C
31
Q

Mixed type of Autoimmunue

A

8%
Serology of both WAIHA and CAD
Severe hemolysis
Cold auto-Ab + Warm auto-Ab

32
Q

Drug-Induced Hemolytic Anemia

A
  • 10% immune hemolytic anemia
  • Severity varies and DAT varies
  • Hapten (chemical compound) can bind protein carrier (albumin) to elicit immune response
  • Ab can develop: to haptens, combination hapten-carrier, only carrier
33
Q

Hapten-specific/Drug adsorption

A
  • Ab react with drug-treated cells
  • Penicillin, ampicillin, cephalosporins (pediatric)
  • Variable presentation
  • Diagnostic:
    + prepare RBC with suspected drug
    + Pt’s serum and Eluate reacts with treated RBC but not untreated RBC
34
Q

Neoantigen/Immune Complex Deposition

A
  • Ab react with untreated cells in presence of solutions of drugs
  • Quinine, piperacillin, 2nd and 3rd generation of Cephalosporins
  • Ab against drugs or its metabolites
  • Assc. with severe hemolysis
  • Dx: Incubated pt’s serum + untreated cells + drug solution. Negative control: no drug solution
35
Q

Autoantibody from drugs

A
  • Drug-independent Ab with autoab production
  • Methyldopa, fludarabine
  • Ab against RBC antigens
  • Dx: No required drug. Elute will be panreactive and indistinguishable with WAIHA. Pt serum can be nonreactive (Adsorption required to R/O allo-ab)
36
Q

Nonimmunologic Protein Adsorption

A
  • Drug independent
  • Assc. with cephalothin, cisplatin
  • Hemolysis is rare
  • Drug modifies RBC membrane –> show protein on membrane –> DAT is positive if antiglobulin/antiprotein is used
37
Q

Type of blood donation

A
  • Allogeneic: from s/oelse than self
  • Autologous: unit is donated for self
  • Directed: unit donated for specific person (PLT, granulocyte, rare blood type)
38
Q

The potential risk of autologous donation

A
  • Mixed up with other patients
  • Iron depletion with each time
  • Increased cost
  • Wastage
39
Q

Requirements for autologous donation

A
  • Used for: difficult to match, religion,
  • Less strict
  • Requires: physician order, defer if donor bacteremia, special label, only Medical Director can approve for use for another than donor.
40
