Kinetics of disappearance and appearance of isoagglutinins A and B after ABO-incompatible hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

ABSTRACT: ABO-incompatible allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) can be complicated by poor red cell engraftment and hemolysis, both mediated by isoagglutinins. Anecdotally, isoagglutinins indicates an activation of donor's immunity or even relapse. Consequently, the routine monitoring of isoagglutinins could help physicians to predict the risk of complications. The purpose of this study is to investigate the time to disappearance and appearance of isoagglutinins after ABO-incompatible allogeneic HSCT. In a one-year follow-up, data of 136 ABO-incompatible hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) allogeneic transplanted patients were studied, of which 60 had major, 61 minor and 15 bidirectional incompatibility. Survival analyses were conducted and association with hematological diseases, HLA
