If everyone involved in the process has done their job, there are no risks in having a blood transfusion. However, humans being prone to error, there are some risks such as * Mistyping (not getting the bloodtype of the donor and/or the patient right); * Contamination (the blood not being stored correctly or having drugs or diseases which were not noticed - this is extreme rare); * Volume and iron overload (too much blood being transfused and too many red platelets being given); * Allergic reactions; * Some serious conditions such as TRALI, most of which occur exceedingly rarely. * There are also some reaction symptoms which occur in many cases anyway, and resolve themselves fairly quickly.

What is a non immunologic transfusion complication?
A non-immunologic transfusion complication refers to adverse reactions that occur during or after a blood transfusion that are not related to the recipient's immune response. Common examples include transfusion-related acute lung injury (TRALI), transfusion-associated circulatory overload (TACO), and infections due to bacterial contamination. These complications can arise from factors such as the volume of blood transfused, the speed of administration, or the presence of pathogens in the blood product. Proper monitoring and management are essential to minimize these risks.
