A Case of Vanished Buffy Coat in Peripheral Blood Hematopoietic Progenitor Cell Harvest
Daniela Zantomio, Ye Mon Than, Blerime Zeneli, Joy ReddropABSTRACT
We report on an autologous hematopoietic progenitor cell collection via apheresis (HPC(A)) with adequate CD34+ pre‐count and unexpectedly low collection efficiency resulting in a failed HPC(A) collection. The collection bag contained almost no buffy coat and the plasma was orange. We assess both collection and patient factors that may have contributed to this finding.
