  1. Hi, everyone Are there any guidelines that we are following about providing HEV neg blood ?
  2. I only found out today that you can enhance reverse group reaction by enzyme treated cell but when you perform reverse group with enzyme treated cell wouldn't it pick up other antibody?
  3. Did you incubate at 37? Did you consider clinical conditions?

    NIBSC

    We also got NC for not using NIBSC for comparison in our recent UKAS inspection. As far as I know they recommend twice a year.
  5. This is what I exactly understood. If antibody screen is positive at 28 weeks and also if lady has sensitizing event prior to 28 weeks we always send sample to measure titre regardless of the strength of reaction.
  6. She is really really weak Rh D positive. Should we have to give anti -D?
  7. We haven't changed technology but yes she is R2r. In terms of prophylaxis should we class as a Rh D negative or Rh D weak positive?
  8. Hi We had antenatal patient where her Rh D status was negative at booking blood. She was also Rh D neg in her first pregnancy. Now we received dsample where is reacting as a weak D positive we received 3 subsequent sample to exclude WBIT. Sample sent to reference lab and reported as weak D positive. It is confirmed by reference lab weak D positive not partial D. We have nearly 10 historical group where she was Rh D neg. How could it be changed.?
  9. Yes her antibody screen was negative at 12 weeks. There is little bit confusion about new guidelines. Sometimes we get report from ref lab no further sample required in this pregnancy. If this is the case do we have to measure upto delivery?
  10. Yes she was negative prior to her first injection.
  11. Opps!! posted twice. Much appreciate if you reply on 1st posy. Thanks
  12. Hi How often do we have to measure antiD level if women has any sensitizing event prior to 28 weeks. At 28 weeks her antibody screen will be positive due to prophylaxis anti-D. Do we always have to treat same as allo antiD (measure every 2 weeks) eventhough we have a antiD record .
  13. We had a similar case where antibody scree and panel positive in all cell line by IAT and enzyme but auto control and DAT were negative using IH 1000 (gel technology ) .And also Crossmatch was negative for 8 units. Sample sent to reference lab and reported as pan-reactive autoantibody. Why pan reactivate autoantibodies when auto and DAT were negative. And also why xmatch was compatible but panel was positive(in all cell line) using same technique. ?

  15. I knew it you probably mean Hb but there will be variations in in Hb in pre and post sample depending on bleeding. How is it related to Hb?
  16. Hi Had a cord blood tested and found mixed field reaction in anti-A. No transfusion history during pregnancy. Also noticed many new born with no transfusion history have a mixed filed reaction in anti-A and/or anti-B. Is it due to fetomaternal haemorrhage or could be other reason?
  17. Hi Just wondering if only one does of proph D given to Partial D woman, wouldn't it consumed by partial D woman? How will it help to prevent Rh D immunisation in this pregnancy. ?
  18. Is the training and education only for RCI staff or also for interested hospital staff.? 

    Happy birthday Malcolm!!

      Thanks for the birthday wishes gagpinks.

       

      I'm no doubt being thick, but is what training and education only for RCI staff?  Could you say a bit more, and then I can answer you more fully.  Sorry to be so stupid!

      I would like to do Higher specialist run by IBMS and be interested if you are running any  training courses and also like to know techniques used in RCI. 

      Sorry for extremely late reply. 

  19. Mum develop anti-c after delivery and baby's DAT was negative on day 0
  20. Hi everyone We recently had a case where Mum's antibody screen was negative through out her pregnancy even the day she had her C-section. We received 7 day postnatal sample, now she develop anti-c. Just in case if baby need blood , do we need to provide little c neg blood eventhough baby's DAT is neg?
  21. Hi We have a patient whose blood group was O RhD pos and had a Bone marrow transplant six month ago. The donor was A Rh D Pos and now patient is starting to express strong A antigen. Is it safe to give A red cell?
  22. Wouldn't Anti-G will develop following to exposure of C antigen?
