Specialized Procedures

Advanced Blood Component Procedures

Advanced blood component modification procedures designed to meet specialized patient requirements and improve transfusion safety and clinical outcomes.

01

Leukoreduced PRBC

Leukoreduced Packed Red Blood Cells are prepared using specialized filtration techniques that remove white blood cells and significantly reduce the WBC count. This component is especially beneficial for patients with febrile non-hemolytic transfusion reactions (FNHTR) and helps reduce the risk of CMV transmission in patients requiring repeated blood transfusions.

02

Irradiated PRBC

Irradiated Packed Red Blood Cells are exposed to gamma irradiation to inactivate donor T-lymphocytes. These blood components are primarily indicated for immunocompromised patients and bone marrow transplant recipients to prevent Transfusion Associated Graft versus Host Disease (TA-GvHD).

03

Phenotype Matched PRBC

Phenotype Matched PRBC is matched not only for ABO and Rh groups but also for additional minor antigens including Kell, Kidd and Duffy. This advanced matching plays an important role in patients with multiple allo-antibodies, thalassemia and sickle cell disease, helping improve transfusion compatibility and reduce complications.

Advanced Diagnostics

Advanced Serology

The Blood Centre performs advanced serological testing using the Enhanced Chemiluminescence Immunoassay (ECI), supporting highly accurate detection and enhanced transfusion safety.

Enhanced Chemiluminescence Immunoassay Advanced serological testing technology used by the Blood Centre.
