Question

The lab received a sample from RD, a 45-year-old renal dialysis patient, for a routine two-unit crossmatch. Following dialysis treatment, RD would receive the transfusion of the RBC units. The LISS antibody screen revealed an antibody which was consistent with the patient history of an anti-D. Selected D-negative panel cells were tested. Testing revealed an additional antibody, which prompted a selected red cell panel.
