Abstract

Authors experienced a patient with anti-Xga antibody in the serum. To our knowledge, this is the first report of anti-Xga antibody in Korea. The patient was a 65-year-old male with chronic renal failure who had received many hemodialyses. Anti-Xga antibody has not been implicated in hemolytic disease of the newborn or hemolytic transfusion reactions, but the antibody can be misinterpreted as clinically significant antibody in crossmatching because it usually reacts only on antiglobulin testing. In this case, no transfusion reactions happened.
