[Replacement therapy with blood components in bone-marrow depression due to cytostatic drugs (author's transl)]. 1980

P Höcker, and E Pittermann, and M Mann, and E Krasa

Intensive cytostatic treatment is associated with severe depression of bone-marrow function, which requires treatment with specific replacement of blood components. Erythrocyte concentrates should be given "pure", without leucocytes and platelets, to prevent rapid alloimmunisation. Different separation techniques (intermittent flow and continuous flow centrifugation, double-bag platelet pheresis) provide platelet concentrates containing 2.0 to 10.0 X 10(11) platelets from a single donor. Immunization against HLA and specific antigens can be minimised by careful donor selection. Effective granulocyte support in granulocytic patients requires large doses of granulocytes given daily to compensate the deficit.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007937 Leukapheresis The preparation of leukocyte concentrates with the return of red cells and leukocyte-poor plasma to the donor. Leukocytapheresis,Leukopheresis,Lymphapheresis,Lymphocytapheresis,Leukocytopheresis,Lymphocytopheresis,Lymphopheresis,Leukaphereses,Leukocytaphereses,Leukocytophereses,Leukophereses,Lymphaphereses,Lymphocytaphereses,Lymphocytophereses,Lymphophereses
D007938 Leukemia A progressive, malignant disease of the blood-forming organs, characterized by distorted proliferation and development of leukocytes and their precursors in the blood and bone marrow. Leukemias were originally termed acute or chronic based on life expectancy but now are classified according to cellular maturity. Acute leukemias consist of predominately immature cells; chronic leukemias are composed of more mature cells.

D001853 Bone Marrow The soft tissue filling the cavities of bones. Bone marrow exists in two types, yellow and red. Yellow marrow is found in the large cavities of large bones and consists mostly of fat cells and a few primitive blood cells. Red marrow is a hematopoietic tissue and is the site of production of erythrocytes and granular leukocytes. Bone marrow is made up of a framework of connective tissue containing branching fibers with the frame being filled with marrow cells.
