Allogeneic red blood cell (RBC) transfusions and the use of reusable dialyzers sterilized with formaldehyde can lead to RBC alloimmunization in chronic hemodialysis patients. The formed RBC alloantibodies have been implicated in immediate kidney allograft failure and decreased RBC survival observed in these patients. Using indirect antiglobulin test, direct antiglobulin test (DAT), and direct Polibrene test (DPT), we detected an RBC alloimmunization rate of 17.2% (11/64) in transfused hemodialysis patients, and found the presence of anti-N-like and anti-Form antibodies in 5 (5.7%) and 53 (60.9%) individuals, respectively. The sensitivity rate of the DPT was significantly higher than that of the DAT in detecting anti-Form, but the DAT showed a higher specificity rate compared with the DPT. We conclude that patients treated with reusable dialyzers sterilized with formaldehyde may develop specific RBC alloantibodies that could increase the potential risk of hemolysis, decrease survival of RBCs, and increase the need of blood supply.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007676 Kidney Failure, Chronic The end-stage of CHRONIC RENAL INSUFFICIENCY. It is characterized by the severe irreversible kidney damage (as measured by the level of PROTEINURIA) and the reduction in GLOMERULAR FILTRATION RATE to less than 15 ml per min (Kidney Foundation: Kidney Disease Outcome Quality Initiative, 2002). These patients generally require HEMODIALYSIS or KIDNEY TRANSPLANTATION.

D004202 Disinfectants Substances used on inanimate objects that destroy harmful microorganisms or inhibit their activity. Disinfectants are classed as complete, destroying SPORES as well as vegetative forms of microorganisms, or incomplete, destroying only vegetative forms of the organisms. They are distinguished from ANTISEPTICS, which are local anti-infective agents used on humans and other animals. (From Hawley's Condensed Chemical Dictionary, 11th ed) Biocide,Disinfectant,Biocides
D004912 Erythrocytes Red blood cells. Mature erythrocytes are non-nucleated, biconcave disks containing HEMOGLOBIN whose function is to transport OXYGEN.

D005557 Formaldehyde A highly reactive aldehyde gas formed by oxidation or incomplete combustion of hydrocarbons. In solution, it has a wide range of uses: in the manufacture of resins and textiles, as a disinfectant, and as a laboratory fixative or preservative. Formaldehyde solution (formalin) is considered a hazardous compound, and its vapor toxic. (From Reynolds, Martindale The Extra Pharmacopoeia, 30th ed, p717) Formalin,Formol,Methanal,Oxomethane
