What transfusion reaction is caused by a reaction between protein antibodies in the blood plasma and red blood cell surface molecules called antigens resulting in the clumping of red blood cells kn?
The transfusion reaction described is known as an hemolytic transfusion reaction, specifically an acute hemolytic reaction. This occurs when there is an incompatibility between the donor's red blood cell antigens and the recipient's antibodies, leading to the clumping (agglutination) of red blood cells. This can cause serious complications, including hemolysis, which is the destruction of red blood cells, and can result in symptoms such as fever, chills, and shock. Immediate medical attention is required to manage this reaction.
When are red blood cells used in a blood transfusion?
Red blood cells are used in a blood transfusion to treat conditions like anemia, blood loss from surgery or trauma, or certain medical conditions that affect the production of red blood cells. They can help increase oxygen levels in the body and improve symptoms like fatigue and weakness.
