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.
ABO incompatibility reaction
ICD9: 999.6
This reaction usually causes acute hemolysis.
Rh incompatibility reaction
ICD9: 999.7
This reaction usually causes delayed hemolysis.
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)
