Ordering Recommendation

Use to monitor chimerism and engraftment in recipients of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant. Aids in evaluating the relative amounts of recipient and donor cells present post transplant. Each posttransplant specimen and test ordered must have a unique ARUP accession number.

New York DOH Approval Status

This test is New York state approved.

Specimen Required

Patient Preparation
Collect

Lavender (EDTA), pink (K2EDTA), or yellow (ACD solution A or B). OR bone marrow in lavender (EDTA).

Specimen Preparation

Transport 2 mL whole blood (Min: 1 mL) OR 1 mL bone marrow (Min: 1 mL).

Storage/Transport Temperature

Refrigerated. Also acceptable: Ambient.

Unacceptable Conditions
Remarks

Posttransplant results will be compared to pretransplant recipient and donor genotypes, therefore, donor and recipient specimens must be obtained and genotyped before the transplant event occurs.
