To prepare blood for a transfusion, some blood banks remove white blood cells. This process is called white cell or leukocyte (LU-ko-site) reduction. Although rare, some people are allergic to white blood cells in donated blood. Removing these cells makes allergic reactions less likely. Not a...

Though it was not always terminal, reactions to some transfusions were still occurring despite matching the A-B-AB-O blood type. In 1940, Karl Landsteiner zeroed in on the so-called Rhesus factor (Rh) which, if present or not, must also be considered for a safe transfusion match. This ...

The blood types must be matched. If not matched properly, the recipient will form clumps (clots) in response to the donor's blood. The clots will lead to heart attacks, embolisms and strokes (transfusion reactions). Two blood types are special: Type O- is called the universal donor ...
BLOOD agglutinationBLOOD group incompatibilityBLOOD transfusion reactionThis article discusses the importance of accurately identifying rare blood types in clinical laboratories to prevent life-threatening transfusion reactions. The B3 phenotype, which is characterized by weak expression of B antigens...
Describe ABO and Rh blood typing and the basis and significance of cross-reactions. Describe the different types of blood vessels and their function. Explain why a person with blood type O- can donate to someone with any blood type, but can receive blood only from other O- donors...

Granulocyte transfusions are administered to patients with low neutrophil count (neutropenia) and refractory bacterial or fungal infection. Common side effects of granulocytes include fever, chills, allergic reactions, and hemolytic transfusion reactions. Consult your doctor if pregnant or breastfeeding. ...
