CROSS-MATCH TEST FOR PLATELETS USING THE M-MPHA METHOD

—A STUDY BASED ON RANDOM PLATELET TRANSFUSIONS.

Abstract

We developed a simple methodology for platelet cross-matching based on the M-MPHA method. Cross-match testing using patient sera and the transfused platelets was performed retrospectively, and the results were compared with the efficacy of platelet transfusion. In cross-match-positive cases, platelet transfusion was ineffective.
