Sep 15th, 2020 - Alloanti-Dia can be implicated in mild to severe blood transfusion reactions. Given the concomitance of a high prevalence of the Dia antigen and antibody circulating in some populations, an anti-Dia typing reagent is required in order to enable sa...

Sep 13th, 2020 - Changes in cytokine production are known to contribute to the pathogenesis of sickle-cell disease (SCD), particularly in painful acute complications (crises) and episodes of post-transfusion hemolysis. Little is known about cytokine profiles in pa...

Sep 9th, 2020 - Consensus definitions for transfusion-related acute lung injury (TRALI) and transfusion-associated circulatory overload (TACO) have recently been revised; however, pulmonary transfusion reactions remain difficult to diagnose. We hypothesized that ...

Aug 30th, 2020 - To provide an update on key safety metrics after transfusion of convalescent plasma in hospitalized coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) patients, having previously demonstrated safety in 5000 hospitalized patients. From April 3 to June 2, 2020, the US Foo...

Aug 25th, 2020 - Sickle cell disease (SCD) is associated with hematologic complications including delayed hemolytic transfusion reactions (DHTRs) and pregnancy-related morbidity and mortality. Hyperhemolysis syndrome (HS) is the most severe form of DHTR in patient...

Apr 26th, 2018 - Red blood cell (RBC) transfusions remain essential in the treatment of patients with sickle cell disease (SCD) and β-thalassemia. Alloimmunization, a well-documented complication of transfusion, increases the risk of delayed hemolytic transfusion ...

Aug 2nd, 2019 - Women with preeclampsia were found to be at the highest risk for transfusion reactions when receiving a blood transfusion post partum, according to results from a retrospective study. Additionally, all women who received a transfusion postpartum w.

Aug 2nd, 2019 - The risk of transfusion reactions was twice as high for women requiring blood to treat postpartum hemorrhage compared with nonpregnant women who also required a blood transfusion during the same time period, a Swedish retrospective study showed. M...

Dec 15th, 2017 - Autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) is characterized by the temperature at which the auto-antibody has the greatest avidity for the target red cell antigen, either warm or cold forms. It is detected by a positive direct antiglobulin test (DAT) also.

Sep 28th, 2017 - Photo by Elise Amendola Blood for transfusion New research suggests that, overall, the age of transfused red blood cells (RBCs) does not significantly impact outcomes in critically ill adults, but, in some cases, older RBCs may be the better choic.

Apr 5th, 2017 - SAN ANTONIO – It was safe to skip preoperative blood type and antibody screening before vaginal and robotic apical prolapse surgeries at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, so long as the women didn’t have hemorrhage risk factors. The r.
