Immunological Concepts in Transfusion Medicine provides a thorough
discussion of the immune aspects of blood component transfusion,
with in-depth information on the intricacies of immune responses to
blood components and the immune processes that may be initiated in
response to blood exposure. Written to increase knowledge and
awareness of immune challenges such as alloimmunization and
transfusion-related acute lung injury, this title bridges current
basic scientific discoveries and the potential effects seen in
blood recipients. Complies the knowledge and expertise of Dr.
Robert Maitta, an expert in immune responses and antibody
function/structure studies. Helps clinicians in the daily practice
of caring for patients in need of transfusion support, as well as
physicians in training when considering utilizing blood
transfusions in a limited scope or in the setting of massive
transfusion. Includes an immunology primer as an introduction to
in-depth chapters covering allergic immune reactions to blood
components, transfusion-related immunomodulation, fetal and
neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia and neonatal neuthropenia,
complications of haploidentical and mismatched HSC transplantation,
chimeric antibody receptor therapies, and much more. Consolidates
today's available information on this timely topic into a single,
convenient resource.
