Acute Hemolytic Transfusion Reaction in an Abyssinian Cat With Blood Type B

Delayed hemolytic transfusion reaction in children with sickle cell disease.

BACKGROUND Transfusion is a cornerstone of the management of sickle cell disease but carries a high risk of hemolytic transfusion reaction, probably because of differences in erythrocyte antigens between blood donors of European descent and patients of African descent. Patients may experience hemolytic transfusion reactions that are delayed by from a few days to two weeks and manifest as acute ...

Rare antibody-associated hemolytic transfusion reaction and transfusion-related acute lung injury: a case report

BACKGROUND Hemolytic transfusion reactions and transfusion-related acute lung injury (TRALI) are life-threatening complications associated with the transfusion of blood products. Hemorrhage is one of the most common surgical complications and the risk of bleeding is particularly acute in patients with hematologic deficiencies. Management of surgical bleeding can be divided into two phases. The ...

Hemolytic transfusion reaction due to anti-IH.

BACKGROUND Anti-IH is usually a clinically insignificant antibody that may complicate a serologic workup. However, it can occasionally cause hemolysis. We report a rare case of acute hemolysis caused by anti-IH. CASE REPORT A 60-year-old man with a long history of chronic myelomonocytic leukemia and anemia, blood group A, D+ was found to have an unidentified antibody on serologic workup. He r...

Hemolytic transfusion reaction due to anti-A.

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...
