Abstract

Background: Anti-E or paired anti-E/-c antibodies can develop in patients with the Rh CDe phenotype. This study examined the differences in transfusion in patients with the CDe phenotype according to formation of anti-E or anti-E/-c antibodies. Methods: Retrospective reviews were carried out on the results of antibody identification tests performed in 2014. The Rh phenotype and antibody specificity were investigated. The transfusion and medical records of patients with the CDe phenotype were examined. Results: In total, 76 patients were included in the review. Of these 76 patients, 38 (50.0%) were of the CDe phenotype. Anti-E antibodies were the most frequent (60.5%), followed by anti-E/-c antibodies (23.7%). The total transfusion units and platelet transfusion units were significantly higher in patients with anti-E/-c antibodies (P=0.028 and P=0.01, respectively). The distribution of categorized diseases was similar in the patients with the anti-E and anti-E/-c antibodies. A frequency of transfusion episodes greater than or equal to four was higher in patients with hepatobiliary diseases (85.7%). Conclusion: In CDe phenotype patients, platelet transfusion was significantly higher in the anti-E/-c positive group than the anti-E positive group, indicating that platelets play a role in red blood cell alloimmunization. Because E is the most immunogenic antigen in Korea, it is important to define the disease group, in which patients with CDe phenotype require a transfusion of E and c-negative blood.

배경: CDe 표현형 환자에서 수혈에 의해 항-E 또는 항-E/-c 항체가 생길 수 있다. CDe 표현형 환자에서 항-E 또는 항-E/-c 항체의 생성에 따른 특성의 차이를 조사해 보고자 하였다. 방법: 2014년에 실시된 비예기항체 동정 검사결과를 후향적으로 검토하였다. Rh 표현형과 항체 특이성을 조사하였고, CDe 표현형 환자의 수혈 및 의무 기록을 조사 하였다. 결과: 총 76명의 환자가 포함되었다. 76명의 환자 중 38명(50.0%)이 CDe 표현형이었다. 항-E 항체 양성군은 23명(60.5%)이었고, 항-E/-c 양성군은 9명(23.7%) 이었다. 총 수혈 단위와 혈소판 수혈 단위는 항-E/-c 항체 양성군에서 유의하게 높았다(P=0.028, P=0.01). 분류된 질병군의 분포는 항-E 및 항-E/-c 항체 양성군간에 차이가 없었다. 수혈의 빈도가 4회 이상을 차지하는 비율은 간담도계 질환 환자군에서 85.7%로 가장 높았다. 결론: CDe 표현형 환자에서 항-E 양성군보다 항-E/-c 양성군에서 혈소판 수혈이 의미 있게 높아 적혈구 동종면역에 혈소판의 역할이 있음을 알 수 있었다. 한국인에서 E 항원 면역원성이 가장 높기 때문에 CDe 표현형 환자들에게 E 항원과 c 항원 음성 혈액의 수혈이 요구되는 질환군을 향 후 정의할 필요가 있다.
