Autologous blood transfusion for hemodialysis patients: A case report and review of clinical reports and therapeutic features
2015
Abstract Case report We describe a hemodialysis (HD) patient who successfully underwent total hip arthroplasty with autologous blood transfusion (ABT). There were several problems with collecting ABT in this setting. Discussion A literature search for HD patients and ABT produced 8 articles describing 29 patients. Higher doses of erythropoietin stimulating agents were used to collect ABT than for a typical HD session. In 75% of the cases autologous blood was collected just after HD to collect better quality blood. The optimal clinical procedures for ABT in HD patients need to be clarified.
