Q

What blood type do most felines have

A

Most cats possess the A antigen,
one-third of those have naturally occurring, low-titer, anti-B antibody
**Type B cats all have a naturally occurring, highly tittered anti-A antibody ***
Type AB cats are rare

Q

Why are blood type AB cats rare

A

Type AB cats are rare and since such cats have both A and B antigens on the erythrocyte membrane, they do not have or develop anti-A or anti-B antibodies

Q

What happens when type B cats get transfused with type A blood

A

Cats with B erythrocytes exhibit an immediate and catastrophic systemic anaphylactic reaction when transfused with Type A blood because of their natural high-titered anti-A antibody
A severe reaction can occur with as little as 1 ml of blood !!

Q

What happens when a type A gets transfused with type B blood.

A

1/3 of cats with A erythrocytes will have natural low-tittered anti-B antibody will exhibit only a mild reaction when transfused with the B blood (not fatal)
Even if they do not have antibodies the transfused erythrocytes have a short life span ( only 7-10 days).
In a good transfusion – transfused blood will last approximately 21 days

newly Discovered Mik antigen
This was discovered when there was incompatible cross-match done on cats of the same blood type
There are naturally occurring allo antibodies in MiK negative Cats
The vast majority of Cats are Mik positive
Always DO CROSSMATCH TEST

Q

What is Neonatal isoerythrolysis

A

Type A kittens resulting from a mating of a Type B queen with a Type A male
maternal anti- A antibody occurs in the colostrum where it can be absorbed by the newborn kitten
Causes hemalytic anemia in kitten
Can be a cause of Fading Kitten Syndrome

Q

How do you prevent isoerythrolysis

A

Breeders can blood type cats before mating

Blood typing can be done on blood from the umbilicus as kittens at birth (very convenient with the Alvedia system)
Remove Type A kitten if the Queen is Type B

Q

Why does auto agglutination happen in cats

A

A certain number of feline patients exhibit auto-agglutination of varying degrees due to serum factors that cause agglutination of the patient’s own red cells

Q

What can cause neonatal isoerythrolysis

A

DEA 1 negative breeding bitches have been either transfused with positive blood or have been repeatedly bred to DEA 1.1 positive sires.
OR
DEA 1 positive Puppies may develop neonatal isoerythrolysis after nursing due to the development of anti-DEA 1 antibodies in the colostrum.

28
Q

When will a blood transfusion reaction occur in a dog

A

In dogs a transfusion reaction will not happen at the first transfusion, since dogs do not have naturally occurring antibodies
A reaction will happen when you transfuse DEA 1.1 positive blood into a sensitized negative dog
Or any second transfusion- there may be other antibodies that have developed that we do not know about

29
Q

In an accute transfusion, when does the reaction occur and how long do the RBC last in the blood

A

Immediate. In an acute hemolytic transfusion reaction, the lifespan of incompatible transfused erythrocytes ranges from minutes to 12 hours.

30
Q

How long does it take for a dog to develop antibodies to an incompatible blood type ?

A

After 4 days the recipient will have made Antibodies to the Donor cells

You must always do a cross match test before a second transfusion, even if you are transfusing with blood from the same donor

31
Q

How do you perform a feline major and minor crossmatch , with the test slide method

A

Donor RBCs + Recipient Plasma
prepare three microscope slides.
Major cross-match; two drops of Recipient Plasma + one drop of Donor RBCs
Minor cross-match; two drops of Donor Plasma + one drop of Recipient RBCs on Minor cross-match
Recipient control. and two drops of Recipient Plasma + one drop of Recipient RBCs
Mix each slide gently back and forth with rocking motion and examine for several mins, looking for hemagglutination.

The reaction will be obvious to the naked eye, and the recipient control slide should be negative.

32
Q

How do you perform a cross match test in dogs

A

You can not use the slide test for Dogs
The dog reaction is more subtle

MUST DO a tube agglutination test

Rapidvet and Alvedia also make cross match kits

33
Q

What is step 1 of the tube agglutination test

A

Donor Blood- either in EDTA or citrate
Step 1- Make packed RBCs
Spin blood on the urine setting (1000g)- 10 min
Remove plasma with a pipette ( label plasma)

34
Q

What is step 2 of the tube agglutination test

A

Step 2- Wash RBCs
0.2ml of pRBC with 5 ml Saline
Centrifuge on urine setting 2 minutes
Decant supernatant, repeat this wash 2 more time- supernatant should be clear

35
Q

What is step 3 of the tube agglutination test

A

Step 3- Set up Major Cross Match
Label 2 tubes w Donor Name and Major and 2 tubes with Donor Name and Control test
In each tube put 0.2ml of washed RBCs
In the 2 Major cross match tubes put 0.2ml of recipient serum (preferred)/ plasma
In the 2 control tubes – put 0.2ml donors plasma

36
Q

What is step 4 and 5 of the tube agglutination test

A

Step 4 - Incubate 15 min at 25o +37o C

Step 5- Centrifuge all tubes at urine setting for 2 minutes

37
Q

What does hemolysis of the supernatant of the tube agglutination test mean

A

Any hemolysis of the supernatant indicates crossmatch incompatibility.

Next Resuspend pellet- Look for Agglutination

Next put a drop on Microscope slide and look for agglutination

38
Q

What are good attributes of a blood donor

A

Good Temeperment
between 1 and 8 years of age.

no history of previous blood transfusions
Up to date vaccination- but not within 1 month of transfusion

39
Q

How often can a dog donate blood and what amount

A

A maximum of 22 mL/kg of blood may be donated every 21 to 28 days;

Usually 3 to 4 times a year

40
Q

What are the feline blood donor attributes needed

A

at least 10 pounds in weight.
A maximum of 15 mL/kg can be drawn every 4 weeks; however, one donation every 3-4 months may be preferable to the owner
Requires sedation
Indoor Cat Prefered
annual CBC + biochemical recommended
Negative for feline leukemia virus, feline immunodeficiency virus, dirofilariasis and hemobartnellosis

41
Q

What is special about feline blood donation

A

Cats require sedation

Require special bags, can not use the human bags

42
Q

When would you use heparin for blood collection

A

Heparin: prevents coagulation by inactivating thrombin.
has no preservative qualities, so blood collected in heparin must be used within 24 hours.
Can be used in an emergency

43
Q

Can you use EDTA for blood collection

A

EDTA is NEVER used for collection of blood for transfusion  TOXIC.

44
Q

Describe sodium citrate when used in blood collection

A

safe, readily metabolized, (reversible)
can be used alone when storage of blood or red cells will not be required or when the plasma will be removed shortly after collection and the red cells either returned to the donor or discarded.

45
Q

What preseveratives can you add to extend the life of the red blood cells

A

glucose (dextrose) –>as an energy source
adenine
Phosphate

46
Q

What are CPDA-1 or CPD

A

Citrate based anticoagulants that are used in blood banking are CPDA-1, CPD,
glucose (dextrose) –>as an energy source
adenine,
Phosphate

47
Q

Describe RBC 24hr after transfusion

A

At least 75% of the transfused red cells must be found in circulation 24 hours after transfusion.
It is equally important that red cells maintain their ability to bind and release oxygen when transfused.

48
Q

What is the shelf life of CPDA-1

A

35 days

49
Q

What are RCA’s

A

(RCAS): Red cell additive solutions
are added back to the red blood cells after the plasma is removed from the whole blood and extend the storage life of RBCs up to 42 days.
eg. Adesol

50
Q

If blood has added RCAs, whats the shelf life

A

Extends the storage life of RBCs up to 42 days.

eg. Adesol
