If DAT is the same as last workup but the patient has made an antibody, is an elution being done???? Patient was transfused a week ago. Please give your thoughts. Thanks 

As long as a new specificity is detected in the plasma, I wouldn't UNLESS the patient requires a further transfusion. in which case I would do an elution and test it against red cels that do not express the antigens against which the plasma is known to contain antibodies (including the de novo specificity).

Thanks
