Abstract

Case Report: We describe a hemodialysis (HD) patient who successfully underwent total hip arthroplasty with autologous blood transfusion (ABT). There were several problems with collecting ABT in this setting.<br />Discussion: A literature search for HD patients and ABT produced 8 articles describing 29 patients. Higher doses of erythropoietin stimulating agents were used to collect ABT than for a typical HD session. In 75% of the cases autologous blood was collected just after HD to collect better quality blood. The optimal clinical procedures for ABT in HD patients need to be clarified.<br /> (Copyright © 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.)
