Clinical Vignette

The patient is an adult female, previously pregnant, who was seen at an obstetrics clinic during the second trimester of her current pregnancy. She has a history of a positive direct antiglobulin test (DAT) with anti-IgG only, as well as a warm reactive autoantibody and an inconclusive antibody. The patient typed as A Positive in the past. The initial panel was all reactive using solid phase red cell adherence assay (SPRCA) and she has a positive DAT with IgG only. An allogeneic adsorption was performed based on the patient's RBC antigen genotype to exclude the presence of underlying alloantibodies.



Question:
What is the result of the allogeneic adsorption?
