Large volume apheresis procedure had to 75 patients (89.3%), and 9 patients (10.7%) had conventional two-day procedure. The mean value of processed blood volume amounted to 13050ml. The average number of MNC in the apheresis product was 7.8×108/kg bw, a CD34+ cells was 12.11×106kg bw. After the application of conditioning regimens, depending on the underlying disease, neutrophils engraftment occurs at 11 day and platelets engraftment at 14 day.
