Adverse Occurrence type:
MPHO Type:
Estimated frequency:
Uncommon; the authors found in 1/162 (0,6%)
Time to detection:
Six hours after 2nd and 3rd dose of G-CSF.
Alerting signals, symptoms, evidence of occurrence:
Donor experienced palpitations and mild chest discomfort (signs of cardiac ischemia).
Demonstration of imputability or root cause:
G-CSF can influence platelet aggregation. The role of G-CSF in the development of this donor's cardiac ischemia is unclear, however the onset of cardiac ischemia within six hours of G-CSF administration suggests a potential causal relationship. The donor was found to have (unreported) symptoms of cardiac artery disease prior to G-CSF administration and was therefor at risk.

Expert comments for publication:
Donors with mild symptoms that show risk of cardic artery dissease should be closely monitored when given G-CSF.
