NCT00400192 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 451

Last updated 2013-04-15

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Individuals who experience a traumatic injury often have a significant amount of blood loss and may require a blood transfusion. In some individuals who receive a blood transfusion, white blood cells from the donor's blood may remain in the body for years, a condition known as microchimerism. This study will examine the reasons why microchimerism occurs in some blood transfusion recipients and not others.
