Transfusion Reactions
Transfusion Reactions
Transfusion-related complications occur during or after a blood product is given. These
complications can be classified as immunologic, non-immunologic and acute, and delayed.
Non-immunologic reactions are caused by the transmission of disease in blood products,
and immunologic reactions are antigen-antibody–mediated. Symptoms can range from
mild itching, chills, and urticaria (hives) to high fever, severe shortness of breath, jaundice,
hypotension, or hemoglobinuria. Severe reactions can lead to death.
