Yes, although ABO and Rh are the main causes of haemolytic transfusion reactions (HTR's), if a person with an anti-K antibody is transfused with red blood cells which have a kell antigen on their surface, it has been known to cause delayed HTR's through the supression of erythropoiesis.

As for haemolytic disease of the newborn, it is thought that anti-K can cause HDN vie anaemia, not jaundice.
