Description | Autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (APBSCT) is gradually replacing autologous bone marrow transplantation in many clinical settings. The key question is how to evaluate the quality of grafts. We analyzed the relationship between hematopoietic reconstitution and characteristics of patients and grafts. CONCLUSIONS: We conclude that the content of progenitors in PBSC grafts and time to booth leukocyte and platelet recovery are best estimated by the number of CD34+ cells (not less than 1 x 10(6)/kg) and CFU-GM (not less than 1 x 10(4)/kg). The number of mononuclear cells in an autologous PBSC graft is not suitable and useful for prediction of engraftment rate. There is probably no additional benefit of reinfusion of more than 8-10 x 10(6) CD34+ cells/kg and/or 50 x 10(4) CFU-GM/kg, because hematopoietic recovery is not more rapid. |
