35 Take home message With RBC-concentrates no problems are expected. Thrombocyte products There is no hard evidence that plasma indeed exacerbates complement activation induces breakthrough during treatment with anti-c5. in complement-mediated diseases, e.g. PNH Based on in-vitro experiments and theoretical concepts one may advice to prevent minor incompatibility (use then product with PAS or concentrated product) Plasma products: - if possible avoid in PNH (use e.g. fbg/pcc products) - consider additional dose complement inhibitor Plasma as a chronic therapy in complement-mediated diseases (ahus) Induces responses (complete and partial) but does not prevent ESRD Plasmapheresis may induce complement activaton Plasma products contain complement activation products (clinical relevance?)
