Concurrent with the recent wide use of infliximab for rheumatoid arthritis (RA), we are encountering patients in whom total joint arthroplasties must be performed under the administration of this agent. Because preoperative autologous blood donation (PABD) is the mainstay of countermeasures against blood loss during and after total joint surgery in Japan, the possibility arises in our country that infliximab may remain in the donated blood. If high levels of infliximab are present in the stored blood, transfusion of such blood may cause adverse events, including infection, related to the agent. Nevertheless, the hemokinetics of infliximab in stored blood are not known, although those in serum are well known. The goal of the current study was, therefore, to clarify the hemokinetics of infliximab in blood stored for PABD. However, because some very interesting data were obtained on the way to that goal, we present them here as a preliminary report.
