Abstract:
This study was aimed to investigate various factors influening erythrocyte recovery following ABO-incompatible allogeneic HSCT. 157 patients following ABO-incompatible allogeneic HSCT were selected for the investigation. Cox regression analysis were used to identify the statistically significant factors including sex, age, schemes of transplantation, HLA-matched, mismathed, conditioning regimens, preventive measures for GVHD, occurrence of grade I-II GVHD, CMV infections and types of incompatible blood group. The results showed that minor ABO-incompatible, number of mononuclear cells infused, age of patients and unrelated BMT were four important main factors influening the erythrocyte recovery. In conclusion, the erythrocyte recovery is more quick in patients with minor ABO-incompatible and more number of mononuclear cells infused, while it is slow in patents with old age and unrelated BMT.

Blood Transfusion Overview
A blood transfusion is a medical procedure used to replace blood lost due to injury, surgery, or to treat conditions such as anemia or cancer. During a transfusion, donor blood is...
Factors Affecting Erythropoiesis
Several factors influence the erythrocyte production rate, with tissue oxygen level being among the most critical. Intense exercise or high altitudes can cause tissue hypoxia, which triggers the kidneys to release more erythropoietin (EPO) into the bloodstream.

The history of blood transfusion dates back to the 17th century, when early attempts were made in animals. In 1818 James Blundell, a British doctor, performed the first successful human blood transfusion. Later in 1900, Karl...
