Q

What is the difference between forward typing and reverse typing?

A

Forward = mixing the patients red blood cells with a serum containing anti-A, anti-B and anti- AB and seeing which one they agglutinate with. If they don’t agglutinate with any, that means they are O, if they agglutinate with all, that means they are AB.

Reverse typing = the patients sera is exposed to commercially available A cells and B cells to see which one the serum antibodies react with. If theres no agglutination with A cells, that means they don’t have A antibodies so they have A antigen on their RBC. Same for B. no agglutination would mean AB blood.

Q

What does treacherous Kidds mean?

A

Delayed hemolytic transfusion reaction

Because antibodies disappear rapidly so are often not seen on initial AB screen and cross match.

Q

What does Lewis Lives mean?

A

Lewis antibodies are clinically insignificant because transfused red cells shed their Lewis antigens and acquire the Lewis phenotype of the recipient

Also, the antibodies are absorbed by free serum Lewis antigens onto the RBC membrane

Q

What is the difference between type and screen (T&S) and crossmatching?

A

Type and screen only detects ABO, Rh, and Ab screen

Cross match is actual testing of patients serum compatibility with donor cells
