Immunohematology boot camp: High & low incidence antigens

Highs and lows: the possibilities are endless! Get tips from Immunohematology veterans on how to best approach the identification of these tricky antibodies, gain background knowledge on some of the more common examples, and identify transfusion challenges associated with these antibodies. This program will feature guided case studies and an informative presentation.

Learning objectives

After participating in this educational activity, participants should be able to:

1. Recognize common antigens associated with antibodies to low/high frequency antigens.
2. Identify methods to differentiate antibodies associated with these reactivity patterns.
3. Discuss transfusion recommendations and challenges for patients with antibodies to high/low frequency antigens.
