Acute Hemolytic Transfusion Reaction in a Patient with Bombay Phenotype: Implications for ABO Grouping

Hemolytic transfusion reaction occurring in a patient with acute renal failure.

A CUTE RENAL FAILURE is a well-known, though by no means inevitable, consequence of acute intravascular hemolytic transfusion reaction. The mechanism responsible for the renal damage is not fully understood, but undoubtedly depends on complex interrelationships of the plasma “free hemoglobin” concentration, the filtered load of hemoglobin, the per cent reabsorption of filtered water, urinary pH...

[A hemolytic transfusion reaction due to Anti-Ku antibody in a patient with Knull phenotype: the first case in Korea].

Knull phenotype completely lacks all Kell system antigens. Anti-Ku antibody is seen in immunized persons with Knull phenotype by transfusion or pregnancy. It can cause a fatal hemolytic transfusion reaction. A 66-yr-old male patient with liver cirrhosis visited emergency center due to acute bleeding. The patient was at hypovolemic shock status: his blood pressure was 80/50 mmHg, pulse rate was ...

Delayed hemolytic transfusion reaction presenting as a painful crisis in a patient with sickle cell anemia.

CONTEXT Patients with sickle cell anemia (SCA) are frequently transfused with red blood cells (RBC). Recently we reported that the calculated risk of RBC alloimmunization per transfussed unit in Brazilian patients with SCA is 1.15%. We describe a delayed hemolytic transfusion reaction (DHTR) presenting as a painful crisis in a patient with SCA. CASE REPORT A 35-year-old Brazilian female with ...

Cerebrovascular accident during a delayed hemolytic transfusion reaction in a patient with sickle cell anemia.

A 28-year-old woman with sickle cell anemia suffered a left hemispheric cerebrovascular accident associated with severe right-sided weakness during a delayed hemolytic transfusion reaction owing to anti-rh' (C) and anti-S. The anti-rh' (C) had been identified four years earlier at a different hospital but neither the patient, her family, nor any member of the staff of the hospital where she was...

Hemolytic transfusion reaction due to anti-A.
