Stages of anti-N-like immunization: a further contribution to problems arising from anti-N-like antibodies in hemodialysis patients.
In the past years, the discussion around problems arising from anti-N-like antibodies has waned in spite of their continuing existence. Even highly sophisticated rinsing procedures of dialysers after sterilisation with Formalin are not capable of preventing an anti-N-like immunization. Therefore, formalin sterilisation should no longer be employed. Three stages of the formalin-dependent anti-N-like immunization are described. Hematological and immunohematological problems in this patient group are documented.
