- Abstract
The use of granulocyte-colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) for mobilization, collection, and transplantation of autologous hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPCs) in patients with hemoglobinopathies can be complicated by severe vasoocclusive crises. Erythrocytapheresis before G-CSF administration may help prevent these complications. To date, no cases regarding the safety and outcome of erythrocytapheresis followed by autologous high-dose G-CSF mobilization in hemoglobinopathy populations have been reported.
