Adverse Events in Peripheral Progenitor Cell Collection: A 7-Year Experience

Abstract: Collection of peripheral progenitor cells (PPC) by apheresis machines is generally regarded as a safe procedure. However, data about adverse events in PPC harvesting are scarce. In a monocentric retrospective study, the data of 540 PPC collections in a period of 7 years were reviewed. Adverse events were subdivided in collection-associated technical problems and patient/donor-related side effects. Patient/donor-related side effects occurred most often (19.8%); most of them were paresthesias due to citrate toxi… Show more

“…In our series, the incidence of hypocalcemia (1.26%) and hypokalemia (50%) was close to previously published data. 12,[22][23][24][25][26] As no relation to the type of vascular access was demonstrated, we principally addressed the issue of mechanical and hemodynamic complications. In children, the ratio of the extracorporeal blood volume (285 ml when using the Gambro-Spectra separator) to the total blood volume must be monitored.…”

“…Side effects observed in our donors and patients were paraesthesia, haematoma and blood flow and catheter‐associated problems. This was similar to a previous analysis with different blood cell separators (Moog, 2001). McLeod and coworkers reported on a nonaccess‐related adverse effect rate of 1·66% in autologous PBSC collection (McLeod et al ., 1999).…”

“…The most common anticoagulant is citrate dextrose, which can decrease the serum level of ionized calcium, causing symptoms of hypocalcemia, outlined in Table 6. In a retrospective study of 540 collections, paresthesias from citrate toxicity was the most prevalent adverse event (20%) during collection (Moog, 2001). Untreated low serum calcium may progress to nausea, vomiting, loss of consciousness, tetany, and seizures (Rowley, 2000).…”
