What can cause problems in a transfusion reaction?
Blood transfusions can cause different reactions that could cause a problem. The first is an immune reaction, which is an allergic reaction to a component of the blood given. The next reaction could be a non immune reaction where the body is overloaded with fluid. The last problem that could be caused is an infection such as HIV, Hepatitis B or C. Infection is very rare now that the FDA requires blood to be tested before given to the recipient.
