Hemoglobin Electrophoresis versus Kleihauer-Betke to Determine Bone Marrow Suppression in Fetuses Undergoing Intrauterine Transfusion.
Objective: Mainstay therapy for fetuses affected by maternal red cell alloimmunization is serial intrauterine transfusion (IUT). Testing to determine when fetal red cells have been replaced with donor cells historically involves the use of the Kleihauer-Betke (KB) test. Hemoglobin (Hgb) electrophoresis testing may be more rapid with a reduced cost of analysis. We aimed to determine the correlation between fetal Hgb electrophoresis versus the traditional KB test.
Study design: This is a retrospective analysis of all alloimmunized singleton pregnancies undergoing IUT between January 1, 2021, and July 1, 2023. Maternal and fetal characteristics were collected along with the indication for IUT. A final fetal blood sample was obtained at the conclusion of each transfusion and sent for KB testing and Hgb electrophoresis. The primary outcome was the assessment of these parameters in their ability to predict the replacement of the fetal circulating red cell population with donor cells. Linear regression analysis and repeated measures analysis of variance were performed, and p-values less than 0.05 were considered significant.
Results: A total of 56 IUTs were performed in 16 patients. There were 39 (69.6%) final KB test values collected and compared with 30 (53.6%) final Hgb electrophoresis values. Hgb electrophoresis when compared with the KB test demonstrated a significant correlation (R2 = 0.93; 95% confidence interval, 0.61-0.76; p < 0.001). This same finding held true when examining the correlation at each individual IUT as well. The final KB test and Hgb electrophoresis values significantly decreased with each transfusion (p = 0.003). A predominance of adult donor blood was noted by the third transfusion for both laboratory indices.
Conclusion: Fetal Hgb electrophoresis obtained at the time of IUT demonstrates a significant correlation with the traditional KB test.
Key points: · Fetal Hgb electrophoresis following IUT is underexplored. · Hgb electrophoresis is an automated evaluation. · The traditional KB test is a manual evaluation. · These two tests demonstrate significant correlation.
期刊介绍:
The American Journal of Perinatology is an international, peer-reviewed, and indexed journal publishing 14 issues a year dealing with original research and topical reviews. It is the definitive forum for specialists in obstetrics, neonatology, perinatology, and maternal/fetal medicine, with emphasis on bridging the different fields.
The focus is primarily on clinical and translational research, clinical and technical advances in diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment as well as evidence-based reviews. Topics of interest include epidemiology, diagnosis, prevention, and management of maternal, fetal, and neonatal diseases. Manuscripts on new technology, NICU set-ups, and nursing topics are published to provide a broad survey of important issues in this field.
All articles undergo rigorous peer review, with web-based submission, expedited turn-around, and availability of electronic publication.
The American Journal of Perinatology is accompanied by AJP Reports - an Open Access journal for case reports in neonatology and maternal/fetal medicine.
