Study of Transfused Blood
Evidence is presented to show that there is no hemolytic toxin producing the anemia in pernicious anemia. Partial evidence is presented to show that the periods of active blood destruction which are seen as the exception in pernicious anemia cases during a series of transfusions are due to the activity of the blood-destroying organs of the body rather than to the intrinsic weakness of the perni...
متن کاملBiologic effects of leukocytes present in transfused cellular blood products.
A considerable literature has accumulated over the past decade indicating that leukocytes present in allogeneic cellular blood components, intended for transfusion, are associated with adverse effects to the recipient. These include the development of febrile transfusion reactions, graft-versus-host disease, alloimmunization to leukocyte antigens, and the immunomodulatory effects that might inf...
متن کاملAge of transfused blood in critically ill adults.
BACKGROUND Fresh red cells may improve outcomes in critically ill patients by enhancing oxygen delivery while minimizing the risks of toxic effects from cellular changes and the accumulation of bioactive materials in blood components during prolonged storage. METHODS In this multicenter, randomized, blinded trial, we assigned critically ill adults to receive either red cells that had been sto...
متن کاملFree haemoglobin in 'old' transfused blood - baddy or bystander?
In the previous issue of Critical Care, Vermeulen Windsant and colleagues demonstrate that transfusion of packed red cells is associated with a transient increase in plasma free haemoglobin and scavenging of nitric oxide in vitro. They also demonstrate that older units of blood have more free haemoglobin in their supernatants. Whether the administration of older stored blood results in adverse ...
متن کاملRed blood cell alloimmunisation in 18 to 50-year old transfused women: a 3-year study.
Dear Sir, Red blood cell (RBC) alloimmunisation is a delayed adverse transfusion reaction whose rate has been evaluated in women in comparison to men in various studies. In their review, Verduin et al.1 showed that women with sickle cell disease were at a higher relative risk (27.0%) of developing RBC alloimmunisation compared to men with the same disease. In the other groups of patients, the r...
