"Wie das lebenspendende Blut durch alle Organe fließt, so berührt die Transfusionsmedizin nahezu sämtliche Bereiche der modernen Medizin! Die Universitätsklinik für Transfusionsmedizin und Zelltherapie ist integraler Bestandteil der medizinischen Grundversorgung der Universitätskliniken der MedUni Wien im AKH: Wir gewährleisten das Transfusionswesen und leisten kritische Beiträge zur Transplantationsmedizin."

Antonia Müller Leiterin Universitätsklinik für Transfusionsmedizin und Zelltherapie

Die Universitätsklinik für Transfusionsmedizin und Zelltherapie dient der transfusions- und transplantationsmedizinischen Versorgung der Universitätskliniken der Medizinischen Universität Wien im Allgemeinen Krankenhaus Wien.

Sie ist Referenzinstitution in vielen Bereichen der Immunhämatologie für Österreich. An der Klinik werden sämtliche immunhämatologischen Untersuchungen mit Schwerpunkt auf Hämotherapie und Transplantationsmedizin durchgeführt. Dafür stehen wir auch für entsprechende klinische und labortechnische Beratungen zur Verfügung. Zusätzlich führt die Abteilung das Blutdepot des AKH Wien.

Klinik

Die Klinik umfasst im Wesentlichen zwei große Bereiche: Die Diagnostische Immunhämatologie und Transplantationsimmunologie, und die klinische Transfusionsmedizin.

Erythrozytenlabor

Das Erythrozytenlabor widmet sich den Untersuchungen im Bereich der Immunhämatologie, Blutgruppentypisierung und deren Varianten sowie erweiterten Methoden zur Spezifizierung von Blutgruppenantikörpern.

zum erythrozytenlabor

Labor für Granulozytenimmunologie

Das Labor für Granulozytenimmunologie beschäftigt sich mit der Bestimmung humaner Neutrophilenantigene (HNA) und dem Nachweis von Antikörpern, die gegen diese Antigene gerichtet sind.

zum granulozytenlabor

Labor für Thrombozytenimmunologie und Thrombozytenfunktion

Das Labor für Thrombozytenimmunologie und ThrombozytenfunktionAnalysen widmet sich klinischen Fragestellungen im Bereich der Thrombozytenimmunologie und Thrombozytenfunktionsdiagnostik.

zum thrombozytenlabor

Labor für Transplantationsimmunologie, HLA-Antikörperdiagnostik und DNA-Labor-Typisierung

Das Labor für Transplantationsimmunnologie widmet sich den Bereich der HLA Antikörperdiagnostik und Analyse sowie der Gewebetypisierung und molekularen Dagnostiken bei Immunologischen Fragestellungen.

Klinische Hämotherapie & Therapeutische Apheresen

Die Apherese ist ein medizinisches Verfahren, welches extrakorporal (außerhalb des Körpers) zumeist mittels eines Zellseparators antikoaguliertes Blut in seine zellulären und löslichen Komponenten mittels Zentrifugation auftrennt. Pathogenetisch relevante Blutbestandteile werden entfernt, wohingegen die Restkomponenten, zumeist inklusive einer Ersatzlösung, dem:der Patient:in zurückgeführt werden.

Patient Blood Management

Unter „Patient Blood Management“ versteht man ein interdisziplinäres präemptives Behandlungskonzept, in welchem Patient:innen mit Anämie (Blutarmut) frühzeitig identifiziert und behandelt werden sollen

Hämatologische Zelltherapien & Stammzellspende

Spender:innenmedizin

Stammzellen zur Stammzelltransplantation und Lymphozyten werden entweder von gesunden Spender:innen (allogen) oder von Patient:innen selbst (autolog) gewonnen und im Rahmen der verschiedenen hämatologischen Zelltherapien verwendet.

Blutkomponentenspende

Spender:innenmedizin

Von gesunden Spender:innen gewinnen wir an unserer Klinik regelmäßig hauptsächlich Thrombozytenkonzentrate und Vollblut zur Herstellung von Serumaugentropfen zur Versorgung der Patient:innen des AKH Wien.

Qualitätsmanagement

Die Etablierung eines Qualitätsmanagementsystems sichert die Qualität sowie die kontinuierliche Weiterentwicklung unserer Leistungen. Das Qualitätsmanagementsystem wurde entsprechend den Anforderungen der Norm EN ISO 9001:2015 aufgebaut, dokumentiert und umgesetzt.

Zusätzlich zu den Forderungen der internationalen Norm ON EN ISO 9001:2015 sind die Standards der European Federation for Immunogenetics, nach denen das HLA- und DNA-Labor der Abteilung bereits seit 1995 akkreditiert sind, verbindlich. Im Bereich der Stammzell- und Gewebeproduktion ist die Klinik gemeinsam mit der Knochenmarktransplantation der 1. Medizinischen Klinik nach dem europäischen Standard JACIE (Joint Accrediation Committee ISH-EBMT) akkreditiert.
