Q

The (blank) reflects in vivo antibody sensitization of erythrocytes. Erythrocytes are washed to remove any unbound antibodies, and anti-IgG AHG reagent is then added. IgG antibodies cannot cause direct erythrocyte agglutination, but if the erythrocytes are coated with IgG antibodies, the AHG reagent will cause them to agglutinate. This test can also be performed using anti-complement AHG reagent. If IgG antibodies are present, they can be eluted off the erythrocytes for specificity determination

Q

The (blank) is used to detect the presence of IgG antibodies in serum (in vitro sensitization). Reagent erythrocytes are incubated in the presence of serum that potentially contains antibodies. If antibodies are present, they bind to their target antigens on the reagent erythrocytes. After the incubation period the erythrocytes are washed to remove unbound antibodies. Anti-IgG AHG reagent is added and will cause IgG-coated erythrocytes to agglutinate

Seen with Rh, Kell, Duffy antibodies

A

Extravascular acute hemolytic transfusion reaction

135
Q

What is the treatment for acute hemolytic transfusion reaction?

A

Hydration/diuresis

exchange transfusion

136
Q

If you think a patient is having a reaction to the transfusion what is the first thing you do?

A

STOP THE TRANSFUSION

137
Q

What should you transfusion reaction work up be like?

A

stop transfusion

  • clerical check (look at bedside paperwork/bag check, check blood bank paperwork, computer check)
  • Draw post-transfusion sample (look for visible hemoglobinemia, compare to pre-transfusion sample)
  • Do a DAT
  • repeat ABO/Rh testing
138
Q

Why would you want to do a DAT in a transfusion reaction work up and what does it tell you?

A

to demonstrate RBC coating with IgG and/or complement in vivo
Doesnt really prove anything because a positive DAT does not prove AHTH and a negative DAT does not disprove AHTR

139
Q

What is the most frequently report transfusion reaction?

A

febrile non-hemolytic transfusion reaction

140
Q

What is the major symptoms of febrile non-hemolytic transfusion reaction?

A

unexplained increase in temp 1 degree celcius

141
Q

What is the etiology of febrile non-hemolytic transfusion reaction?

A

increased pyrogenic substances from WBCs
Pretransfusion: donor WBCs secrete cytokines in storage bag
During transfusion: recipient antibodies attack donor WBCs or vice versa

142
Q

What is the treatment for febrile non-hemolytic transfusion reaction?

A

antipyretics

demerol

143
Q

Allergic reactions caused by transfusion can be grouped into what three categpries?

A

Mild, moderate, severe (anaphylactic)

144
Q

What are the symptoms caused by mild allergic reaction?

A 
very common
localized hives
angioadema
mild respiratory symptoms 
mild laryngeal edema
145
Q

What are the symptoms caused by moderate allergic reactions?

A 
stridor
hoarseness
wheezing
chest tightness
dyspnea
146
Q

What are the symptoms caused by severe (anaphylactic)?

A

uncommon

  • anaphylaxis very early
  • hypotension
  • lower airway obstruction
  • abdominal distress
  • systemic crash
  • urticaria
  • puritis
147
Q

What is the mechanism behind a mild allergic transfusion reaction?

A

-Type I (IgE mediated) hypersensitivity to transfused
plama proteins
-Mast cell secretion of histamine and other mediators of allergic reactions

148
Q

What is the treatment/prevention for mild allergic reactions?

A

Diphenhydramine IV or oral (prevention)

  • Wash blood products
  • may restart transfusion after hives clear
149
Q

What is the mechanism behind a moderate allergic transfusion reaction?

A 
type I (IgE mediated) hypersensitivity to transfused plasma proteins
-mast cell secretion of histamine and other mediators of allergic reactions
150
Q

What is the treatment for moderate allergic transfusion reactions?

A

Diphenhydramine IV

Epinephrine

151
Q

What are the mechanisms behind a severe allergic (anaphylactic) transfusion reaction?

A

IgA deficient recipient with IgE anti-IgA

  • haptoglobin deficiency
  • latex drugs or foods in donor can leads to severe reactions in recipients
152
Q

How do you treat/prevent a severe allergic (anaphylactic) transfusion reaction to a blood transfusion?

A

wash blood products
IgA deficient blood products
benadryl with corticosteroids
epinephrine

153
Q

What is this

an extravascular hemolysis at east 24 hours but less than 28 days after transfusion

A

Delayed hemolytic transfusion reaction

154
Q

What is the etiology of a delayed hemolytic transfusion reaction?

A

anamestic response

primary response

155
Q

What is the anamnestic response in a delayed hemolytic transfusion reaction?

A
  • antibody formed but fades over time
  • anamnestic rapid production of IgG antibody
  • Typical for Kid, Duffy, and Kell antibodies
156
Q

What is the primary response in a delayed hemolytic transfusion reaction?

A

antibody is quickly formed and attacks still circulating transfused red cells

157
Q

What is a transfusion associated graft vs. host disease (TA-GVHD)?

A

attack on recipient cells by viable T-lymphocytes in transfused blood product

158
Q

What are the symptoms associated with TA-GVD?

A
  • fever 7-10 days post-transfusion
  • face/trunk rash that spreads to extremities
  • mucositis, nausea/vomiting, watery diarrhea
  • hepatitis
  • pancytopenia
159
Q

What patients are at risk for transfusion associated Graft Vs. Host disease (TA-GVHD)?

A

all those requiring irradiation

160
Q

What is the treatment for transfusion associated graft vs host disease (TA-GVHD)?

A

irradiate blood products

161
Q

What is cool about allergic transfusion reactions?

A

you can restart the transfuion after treatment

162
Q

What is this:

  • acute non-immune transfusion reaction
  • due to bacteria in contaminated platelets and RBCs
  • staph, strep, yersinia, bacillus, psuedomonas, e.coli
A

Transfusion associated sepsis

163
Q

What is this:
similiar to severe allergic reaction butno skin symptoms, no GI or respiratory issues
-greater than 30mm Hg drop in systolic B, Diastolic less or equal to 80
-occurs less than 15 min after starts; resolves less than 10 after stop
-associated with patients taking ACE inhibitors or receiving blood with negativey charged filters

A

Hypotensive

164
Q

What is this:

acute onset of congestive heart failure as a direct result of blood transfusion

A

Transfusion associated circulatory overload

165
Q

What is this:
rare
-mrked thrombocytopenia and ncreased risk of bleeding 10 days following transfusion
-due to antibody against a common platelet antigen (anti-HPA-1A, PL has a frequency of 98%)

A

Post transfusion purpura

166
Q

In extravascuar hemolysis what will you see?

A

increased LDH, Increased reticulocyte count, increased indirect bilirubin and derease haptoglobin.

167
Q

In intravasculr hemolysis what will you see?

A

super increased LDH, VERY low haptoglobin, increased reticulocyte count (thanks to kidney sensing hypoxia and increasing EPO). Hemoglobin in urine. Iron deficient, cuz of hemoglobinuria (doesn’t happen in extravascular hemolysis)

168
Q

You can have a low (blank) iN SEVERE CHRONIC iron sufficiency anemia because you don’t even have enough iron to stimulate creation of reticulocytes.

A

reticulocyte count

169
Q

If you have an LDH above (blank), then it is intravascular hemolysis.

A

1000

170
Q

If you see petechia then it is only seen in (blank)

A

intravascular hemolysis

171
Q

If your bilirubin is normal it is not (blank)

A

hemolysis
