Regeneration of erythropoiesis after related‐ and unrelated‐donor BMT or peripheral blood HPC transplantation: a major ABO mismatch means problems

Abstract

Major ABO incompatibility may lead to delayed reticulocyte engraftment, resulting in prolonged transfusion dependency and increased risks of transmission of infection and iron overload. Therefore, therapeutic strategies should be taken into consideration to allow erythroid reconstitution in these patients.
