Platelet transfusions with incompatible ABO antibodies can cause hemolysis in patients with acute myeloid leukemia. Reducing donor plasma or using compatible platelets can prevent this reaction.

Area of Science:

  • Hematology
  • Transfusion Medicine

Background:

  • Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients often require platelet transfusions for management.
  • ABO-incompatible platelet transfusions can lead to hemolytic reactions due to passive antibody transfer.

Observation:

  • An 18-year-old female with AML experienced progressive hemolysis post-transfusion with ABO-incompatible platelets.
  • The hemolysis was attributed to anti-A and anti-B isoagglutinins present in donor plasma.

Findings:

  • Hemoglobin levels normalized after administration of ABO-compatible platelets or reduced-volume, pooled platelet concentrates.
  • These findings suggest passive transfer of isoagglutinins from donor plasma is the primary cause of hemolysis.

Implications:

  • Transfusing ABO-incompatible platelets is not an absolute contraindication.
  • Strategies like donor plasma reduction and isoagglutinin titer testing in group O donors can mitigate risks for patients needing prolonged platelet support.
