MLSC 3221U – Transfusion Immunology and Hemostasis

The transfusion immunology component of this course introduces the theoretical concepts and immunological principles fundamental to testing in the transfusion laboratory. The material covered in this course will form the foundation for MLSC 3220U Transfusion Science in the following semester. In the hemostasis component, the principles of hemostasis theory, including related bleeding disorders will be studied. Common laboratory techniques used in the diagnosis of these disorders will be performed. Correlation with clinical findings will be discussed, along with introducing the role of the transfusion laboratory in the provision of blood products to treat bleeding disorders.
