A classification has been proposed by the American Association of Blood Banks (AABB).[1] In addition, the classification below is based on ICD9.

Immunologic

Febrile, nonhemolytic transfusion reaction (FNHTR)

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.

Delayed hemolytic transfusion reactions

ICD9: 999.7

This reaction usually causes delayed hemolysis. This may be caused by Rh incompatibility.

Transfusion related acute lung injury (TRALI)

ICD9: 518.7

This is an acute reaction.

Nonimmunologic

Chemical reactions

  • Hemosiderosis
  • Hypocalcemia from citrate toxicity
  • Hyperkalemia
  • Metabolic alkalosis and hypokalemia due to citrate

Transmission of infection

Other reactions

  • Hypothermia
  • Circulatory overload
  • Hypotension associated with leukoreduced blood
  • Transfusion-related acute lung injury (pulmonary leukoagglutinin reaction) (TRALI)
