Is a transfusion reaction a subacute hypersensitivity to foreign red blood cells?
A transfusion reaction is typically an acute hypersensitivity reaction to foreign red blood cells, which can occur immediately or within a few hours of the transfusion. Subacute hypersensitivity reactions usually take days to develop after exposure to the antigen, unlike the immediate onset of symptoms seen in transfusion reactions.
Can large red blood cells after blood transfusion in an adolescent due to menstrual hemorrage be a problem?
yes they could sometimes but they might not
What happens if anti-B antibodies are mixed with group B red cells?
If anti-B antibodies (from someone who is blood type A or AB) are mixed with group B red cells, agglutination or clumping of red cells will occur due to a reaction between the antibodies and the B antigen on the red cells. This can lead to transfusion reactions if incompatible blood is transfused, causing harm to the recipient.
What can red cells and platelets be used for?
Red blood cells are used to transport blood and oxygen to cells in our body while platelets clot blood when u are bleeding, to prevent excessive blood loss
What is likely to happen to a donor's cells if an Rh person who is sensitive Rh plus blood receives a transfusion of Rh plus blood?
If a donor's Rh-negative cells are transfused into an Rh-positive recipient, the recipient's immune system may recognize the Rh antigens as foreign and mount an immune response, leading to destruction of the donor's red blood cells. This can result in a reaction called hemolytic transfusion reaction.
Why are red blood cells the most frequently used blood component in a blood transfusion?
Red blood cells are the blood component most frequently used for transfusion. RBCs are the only cells in the body that transport oxygen. A transfusion of RBCs increases the amount of oxygen that can be carried to the tissues of the body.

Can a blood transfusion be caused by childbirth?

What is packed red blood cell 'irradiated' mean?
