Department of Chemical Pathology, UMDS, Guy's Hospital, London, UK.

We studied the prevalence of hypophosphataemia (< 0.80 mmol/l) in seventeen patients who had undergone bone marrow transplantation (BMT). Thirteen (77%) of the seventeen patients had hypophosphataemia at some stage during the conditioning phase or after their BMT. Seven (41%) of the seventeen patients had hypophosphataemia in the peri-BMT period that is during the conditioning phase or within one week thereafter. Two of the patients showed severe hypophosphataemia (< 0.30 mmol/l). We suggest that plasma phosphate should be monitored in patients with a bone marrow transplant.

D016465 Bone Marrow Purging Techniques for the removal of subpopulations of cells (usually residual tumor cells) from the bone marrow ex vivo before it is infused. The purging is achieved by a variety of agents including pharmacologic agents, biophysical agents (laser photoirradiation or radioisotopes) and immunologic agents. Bone marrow purging is used in both autologous and allogeneic BONE MARROW TRANSPLANTATION. Hematopoietic Stem Cell Purging,Purging, Bone Marrow
