Transfusion reaction
A classification has been proposed by the American Association of Blood Banks (AABB).[1] In addition, the classification below is based on ICD9.
Immunologic
Febrile, nonhemolytic transfusion reaction (FNHTR)
This is a minor, acute reaction suggested by negative a Coombs' test, no free hemoglobin in the plasma, and no hemoglobin in the urine.
Hemolytic reactions
Hemolytic reactions due to blood group incompatibility is "mismatch between donor and recipient blood. Antibodies present in the recipient's serum are directed against antigens in the donor product. Such a mismatch may result in a transfusion reaction in which, for example, donor blood is hemolyzed."[2]
Acute hemolytic transfusion reactions
ICD9: 999.6
Acute hemolytic transfusion reactions due to ABO incompatibility.
Delayed hemolytic transfusion reactions
ICD9: 999.7
This reaction usually causes delayed hemolysis. This may be caused by Rh incompatibility.
ICD9: 518.7
This is an acute reaction.
Nonimmunologic
Chemical reactions
- Hemosiderosis
- Hypocalcemia from citrate toxicity
- Hyperkalemia
- Metabolic alkalosis and hypokalemia due to citrate
Transmission of infection
Other reactions
- Hypothermia
- Circulatory overload
- Hypotension associated with leukoreduced blood
- Transfusion-related acute lung injury (pulmonary leukoagglutinin reaction) (TRALI)
