Irradiation of blood products. Irradiation of blood products Key Points Why? Cellular blood products whole blood, red blood cells, platelets, granulocytes When? Timing of irradiation is important for neonatal and paediatric patients. Irradiation reduces the storage-life of red cells and whole blood. TA-GVHD occurs when donor lymphocytes from transfused blood engraft in the recipient and cause disease. Typically TA-GVHD occurs days post transfusion with clinical features of fever, skin rash, hepatitis, diarrhoea and pancytopenia.
Who is at risk? Patients who are immuno-compromised and patients receiving transfusion from a relative directed donation are at increased risk of TA-GVHD.
Irradiation of blood prod ucts Irradiation of blood products is undertaken using a dedicated blood irradiator located onsite with a long half-life gamma emitting source. Req uests The clinician requesting the crossmatch or blood product is responsible for ensuring irradiated components are requested for appropriate patients. Malignancy 3. We present here the results of an inquiry sent to 47 German transplantation centers regarding the transfusion policy following autologous stem cell transplantation.
The results of 35 answering centers are included. Ten out of 35 centers offer irradiated blood products lifelong to their patients, mainly for the prevention of mistransfusion of non-irradiated blood components to allogeneic recipients. Twenty-two out of 35 centers administer irradiated blood products for a special time span after autologous stem cell transplantation.
