44
most common drug associated with drug adsorption mechanism of DIHA

47
drug adsorption mechanism DIHA patients develop hematologic complications?

why should adsorption procedures not be performed on samples from patients that have been transfused in the last 3 months?
potential exists for adsorption of significant alloantibodies onto transfused donor cells

cold auto-adsorption
78
why are patient cells enzyme treated in cold-autoadsorption technique?
enzyme treated autologous cells have increased ability to bind cold autoantibody for removal from serum
