| Reflecting on probability of the solution Similar to evaluating inconsistencies, one of the post-analytic tools for confirming that the serological data fit the solution is to consider the "big picture." For example: Is there a likely red cell stimulus (prior transfusion or pregnancy) for IgG antibodies such as anti-Jka? Can different reaction strengths with panel cells be explained by the identified antibody (e.g., dosage) or by the presence of more than one antibody? Is the antibody unusual for a patient of a particular race? For example, anti-Dib is more likely to occur in Native Americans than in Caucasians. | View Page |
