Successful whole-blood exchange transfusion in a patient with paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria: A case report and literature review [PDF]

Journal of International Medical Research, 2019
Objective Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) is a rare acquired clonal disorder of the hematopoietic stem cells that involves all blood cells. The primary aim of this study was to assess the role of whole-blood exchange (WBE) in treating patients with PNH. Methods A 32-year-old male patient was admitted our hospital because of severe anemia. His

Impact of Voxelotor on Red Blood Cell Exchange Therapeutic Procedures: Evaluation of Multi-Institutional Procedure Data. [PDF]

J Clin Apher
ABSTRACT Hemoglobin S (HbS) polymerization inhibitor drugs such as voxelotor can result in a split peak in HbS as well as additional peaks with hemoglobin A in quantitative methods of HbS measurement. It is unclear how these results should be used to make transfusion decisions.

Red blood cell endothelial nitric oxide synthase: A major player in regulating cardiovascular health

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract Red blood cells (RBCs) have traditionally been seen as simple carriers of gases and nutrients in the body. One important non‐canonical function of RBCs in the cardiovascular system is the regulation of nitric oxide (NO) metabolism. It has been shown that RBCs can scavenge NO, transport NO metabolites and produce NO in hypoxic conditions ...

Whole blood exchange transfusion as a promising treatment of aluminium phosphide poisoning [PDF]

Archives of Industrial Hygiene and Toxicology, 2018
Abstract A 37-year-old male was referred to us about one hour after deliberate ingestion of two 3-gram aluminium phosphide (ALP) tablets. Three hours after admission, his blood pressure dropped to 85/55 mmHg, his heart rate increased to 120 bpm, O2 saturation dropped to 82 %, and the electrocardiogram showed junctional rhythm. We started

Determination of ABO antibody titre and haemolysin test of group O whole blood used for exchanged transfusion in a teaching hospital

Bangladesh Journal of Medical Science, 2022
Background: Group O blood donor is more readily available and is frequently used as a universal red cell donor and emergency O whole blood (EM O) for exchange transfusion in neonates. Sera from group O donors contains two separable haemolysin antibodies, anti-A and anti-B, and a cross-reacting antibody called anti-A, B (mostly IgG).
