Acute Hemolytic Transfusion Reaction

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...

A case of acute hemolytic transfusion reaction due to anti-Dia antibody -A case report-

Many medical institutions in Korea have recently been performing an antibody screening test as one of the essential elements of a pre-transfusion test. The Di(a) antigen is well known as one of the antigens with low incidence among Caucasians; however, it has been discovered with a relatively higher incidence among Mongoloid populations. The frequency of the Di(a) antigen among the Korean popul...

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...
