In medicine, a transfusion reaction is an adverse effect due to blood component transfusion such as erythrocyte transfusion or platelet transfusion.
A classification has been proposed by the American Association of Blood Banks (AABB).[1]
Immunologic
Febrile, nonhemolytic transfusion reaction (FNHTR)
FNHTR may include temperature elevation > 1°C, chills and/or rigors, headache, vomiting. This is a minor, acute reaction suggested by negative a Coombs' test, no free hemoglobin in the plasma, and no hemoglobin in the urine.
Hemolytic reactions
Hemolytic reactions due to blood group incompatibility is "mismatch between donor and recipient blood. Antibodies present in the recipient's serum are directed against antigens in the donor product. Such a mismatch may result in a transfusion reaction in which, for example, donor blood is hemolyzed."[2]
Acute hemolytic transfusion reactions
ICD9: 999.6
Acute hemolytic transfusion reactions due to ABO incompatibility may show chills, fever, hypotension, renal failure, back pain, hemoglobinuria
Delayed hemolytic transfusion reactions
ICD9: 999.7
This reaction usually causes delayed hemolysis. This may be caused by Rh incompatibility.
Allergic reactions
Type 1 hypersensitivity (immediate hypersensitivity) reactions include:
- Anaphylactic transfusion reactions may occur, especially in patients with IgA-deficiency and may cause dyspnea, bronchospasm, hypotension, urticaria.
- Urticaria may occur due to the recipient's IgE reacting to antigens from the donor and cause urticaria, pruritis, and flushing.
ICD9: 518.7
Transfusion-related acute lung injury (pulmonary leukoagglutinin reaction) (TRALI) is an acute reaction that may include hypoxemia, respiratory failure, hypotension, and fever.
Posttransfusion purpura
Posttransfusion purpura (PTP) is an immune thrombocytopenia. This is more common in women who have been pregnant.
Graft-versus-host disease
Transfusion associated graft-versus-host disease (TA-GVHD) is when the donor's blood attacks the recipient's body.
Nonimmunologic
Nonimmune hemolysis
Nonimmune hemolysis may be due to physical destruction of donor blood from heating or freezing.
Chemical reactions
- Hemosiderosis
- Hypocalcemia from citrate toxicity
- Hyperkalemia
- Metabolic alkalosis and hypokalemia due to citrate
Transmission of infection
Transfusion associated sepsis may manifest 'fever > 40°C and/or cardiovascular collapse.'[1]
Other reactions
- Air embolus may manifest 'sudden dyspnea, cyanosis, chest pain, cough, hypotension, cardiac arrhythmia.'999.1
- Hypothermia
- Circulatory overload may cause dyspnea.
- Hypotension associated with leukoreduced blood and angiotensin-converting enzyme may cause flushing and hypotension.
