30
HBsAG Test detects
the outer envelope of the virus; Detects infection; Test becomes negative a few months after illness; May become chronic carrier
31
Anti-HBc detects
antibody to virus; permanent deferral despite no active illness; Not made in response to HepB vaccination
32
Anti-HCV detects
- Detects antibody (ab) to virus - Inflammation of the liver - 80% develop chronic infection - 20% develop cirrhosis and other liver diseases - Asymptomatic individuals may be carriers
33
Anti- HIV 1 AND 2 detects
- Test for ab to virus - HIV-1 is more common in US - HIV-2 more common in Western Africa - Both viruses cause acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS)
34
Anti-HTLV I AND II detects
- Test for ab to viruses - Uncommon in US - HTLV-I common in Japan and Caribbean - HTLV-II infections usually associated with I.V. drug users - Causes leukemia or lymphoma and neurological disease
35
SYPHILLIS detects
``` - spirochete that causes syphilis - Testing began after WWII when risk of infection much higher - Spirochete is fragile and unlikely to survive the 1-6C temp of blood storage ```
36
West Nile Virus
- Incubation from 2-14 days - 80% of those infected not symtomatic - 20%: fever, headache, GI complaints - Donor questionaire about fever and headache - NAT testing (nucleic acid amplification)
37
Directly detects genetic material of viruses. Reduces “window period” during which an infecting agent is undetectable by traditional tests Used for WNV, HIV-1 and HCV Reduced “window period” for HCV from 70-80 days to 10-30 days For HIV from 45 days to 10 days
NAT
38
CMV detects
- Cytomegalovirus - Rarely transmitted by blood transfusion - According to CDC 50-85% of adults in US are infected by age 40
39
Red cell and platelet products can be CMV-negative by test, or can be
CMV-safe by leukoreduction.
40
Donor Questionaire to eliminate infections for which there is no screen
- Babesiosis - Malaria - Chagas Disease
41
Babesiosis
- Most common in US - Bite from infected Deer tick - Fever 1-4 weeks after - hemolytic anemia - renal failure - Asymtomatic for months while infectious - Parasite survives in blood for 35 days
42
Malaria
- Rare in US - Parasite survives for week at 4C - Donors can be asymptomatic and infectious - Exclude donor for 1 year if travel to endemic area - Exclude for 3 years if have had disease or lived in endemic area
43
Chagas' Disease
- Protozoan parasite - Typanosoma cruzi carried by kissing bug - Often asymtomatic. Can get fever, enlarged liver/spleen. - Children get myocarditis. - Chronically infected get cardiac and GI symptoms
44
Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD)
- Rare degenerative and fatal nervous system disorder - Currently no screening test - Blood transfusions do not transmit the disease - FDA prohibits potential donors who have received injections of human-derived pituitary hormone, family history, or those with transplanted dura mater
45
SARS
- Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome - Most cases identified in Asia - No evidence this infection is transmitted from blood donors to transfusion recipients - Deferral through questionaire
46
Pretransfusion testing?
- ABO typing - Rh Typing - Antibody Screens / Compatibility testing
47
Type A has what antingen(s) and antibodies present in the RBC's?
A antigen / Anti-B Antibodies
48
Type B has what antingen(s) and antibodies present in the RBC's?
B antigen / Anti-A Antibodies
49
Type O has what antingen(s)and antibodies present in the RBC's ?
Neither A nor B / BOTH Anti-A & Anti-B Antibodies
50
Type AB has what antingen(s) present in the RBC's?
A antigen & B antigen / NEITHER A or B Antibodies
51
Rh positive individuals have the
D antigen on their RBC
52
Rh negative individuals do not have
D antigen on their RBC
53
Screening for unusual antibodies that may be present
- Incubate pt serum with RBC - Look for hemolysis or agglutination - Add anti-IgG to look for those antibodies (ab) that do not cause DIRECT agglutination
54
Positive (agglutination or hemolysis) indicates
an existing ab to red cell antigens which may cause transfusion reaction
55
Lack of agglutination or hemolysis indicates what ?
No Antibodies
56
When screening for unusual antibodies, what is a big concern?
- weak antibodies may not be detected.
57
Crossmatched
1. ) Choose ABO and Rh compatible donor units 2. ) Test pt serum against donor cells and look for agglutination or hemolysis 3. ) incubate this test at 37C (like ab screen) and add anti-IgG to detect ab that do not agglutinate directly.
58
During a crossmatch, agglutination or hemolysis indicates what ?
incompatible donor unit for that patient
59
During a crossmatch, NO agglutination or hemolysis indicates what ?
compatible unit
60
A positive antibody screen indicates the need for further testing to determine what?
the specificity of the patient’s antibody
61
Once Antibody is identified…Test donor units for those that
LACK the antigen to the ab present in your patient
62
Ease of finding antigen compatible units depends on what ?
The frequency of the antigen in the donor units
63
Kell antigen frequency in the population ?
10%
64
Lub Antigen frequency in the population ?
99.8 %
65
c, E, Fy^a Antigen frequency in the population ?
80%, 30%, and 66% resp. | - About 5 units out of 100 will be compatible for an individual with this combination of antibodies
66
Non-specific cold agglutinins can have life threatening consequences in the OR when the patient’s body temperature is
lowered
