[The Role of Clinical Laboratory Technicians at Bone Marrow Transplantation : Blood Test]
Abstract:
Transplantation therapy for hematopoietic diseases is conducted by a team led by an attending physician. After transplantation, various adverse effects occur, such as graft versus host disease (GVHD) and thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA), recurrence, and engraftment failure. Therefore, attending physicians are busy with the evaluation of laboratory data, monitoring of immunosuppressants, use of blood products, and management of infectious diseases. Under such circumstances, laboratory technicians play various roles. Our blood test technicians conduct tests to predict outcomes desired by attending physicians and report them quickly and accurately. For that purpose, they must develop skills to interpret test results and examine morphological findings. In this report, we introduce our efforts to improve post-transplantation medical care.
