RESULTS OF GRANULOCYTE APHERESIS AT NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF HEMATOLOGY AND BLOOD TRANSFUSION (2017-2023)
Main Article Content
Abstract
Granulocytopenia in patients after chemotherapy and stem cell transplantation gives a high mortality risk. Transfusion of granulocytes helps improve the infection. Objective: to describe the results of granulocyte apheresis at Stem Cell Bank, National Institute of Hematology and Blood Transfusion for the period 2017-2023. Subjects: 42 donors underwent 68 times of granulocyte apheresis. Method: Cross-sectional descriptive study. Results: 68 granulocyte pack obtained from 42 donors with median neutrophils as 2.85 ± 1.75 x1010. The mobilization and apheresis process ensures safety, has a low incidence of symptoms, and does not affect the health and blood indicators of the donor. Conclusion: granulocyte apheresis protocol is effective and should be applied widely
