Malaria polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing is more sensitive than conventional diagnostics. Routine PCR screening of at‐risk asymptomatic hematopoietic cell donors and transplant candidates may prevent unnecessary deferrals or treatment. In our experience, PCR negativity during screening or after treatment supports donor/candidate eligibility ...

Deletional a-thalassemia 1 gene detection and hematological analysis in carrier with β-thalassemia
There are high prevalence of β-thalassemia and α-thalassemia in the upper Northern Thailand. Thus, the interaction between β-thalassemia and α-thalassemia can be occurred.

Abstract Background and Objectives Rh is among the most important and highly polymorphic blood group systems due to the proximity of the RHD and RHCE genes, which encode numerous highly immunogenic antigens. However, in areas of Saudi Arabia with a high prevalence of hemoglobinopathy, the molecular characteristics of RHD and RHCE variations are lacking.

Cost‐effectiveness of a hypothetical assay to evaluate stored blood quality prior to transfusion
Abstract Background and Objectives Unsuccessful red blood cell (RBC) transfusion, necessitating unscheduled repeat transfusion, is common and costly. Several technologies have been developed to assess stored blood quality, but the potential cost‐effectiveness of pretransfusion testing versus no testing to prevent unscheduled re‐transfusion is unknown ...

Insulin-like growth factor-1 levels in children with Beta-thalassemia minor [PDF]
Objective: Growth retardation in children with b-thalassemia major is multifactorial. Some etiologies described for this condition are hemochromatosis, disturbed growth hormone (GH) / insulin growth factor-1 (IGF-1) axis, undernutrition and ...

Abstract Background and Objectives The presence of warm autoantibodies (WAAs) complicates pre‐transfusion and compatibility testing. Despite attempts to provide antigen‐matched red blood cells (RBCs), the risk of alloimmunization remains. Rates of alloimmunization and indications for transfusion were reviewed to streamline testing and RBC provision ...

ABSTRACT Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is common and a major contributor to increased morbidity and early mortality in people with sickle cell anemia (SCA). Urine albumin‐to‐creatinine ratio (uACR) is recommended to identify patients with SCA‐related CKD but its utility in predicting long‐term kidney dysfunction remains unclear in this patient ...
