janet got a reaction from Yanxia in Natural anti K
I had my student work on our two patients some more - both women we thought had Anti-K along with their Passive D's have had K negative babies - they have not been transfused and pre-RhIg injection screens were negative!
I too looked at all the cells that were reacting and they are Bg positive.
3 more K+Bg- cells are negative.
BUT a couple K-Bg+ cells are not reacting!?!?!

janet reacted to klsmith in DAT on every hematology work up!?!
Hi Janet,
It seems to me that perhaps you are having an issue with having to perform DAT's. Please take into consideration that the hematologist knows what that he/she is doing. I am not trying to be difficult, but I guess that I do not see what the issue is. Hematologists are Hematologists for a reason, and we have to have faith that they know what is going on with their patients, so that we can provide the best and most accurate results for them! Just saying...

There are a couple studies I know of;
ABLE - global but most are in Canada (&US?) started in 2008 and hope to have enough patients by end of this year - synopsis: http://www.controlled-trials.com/ISRCTN44878718/
one out of McMaster University in Toronto - link to vidio presentation when just beginning http://mediasite.otn.ca/Mediasite/Play/03201e7ac63d42e7a32c6d41704e9e441d?catalog=fd668812-d87c-47f9-b1ba-6d979fed9af4
