Area of Science:

  • Medicine
  • Hematology
  • Transfusion Medicine

Background:

  • Blood components are vital in treating various diseases.
  • While generally safe, blood transfusions carry risks of adverse reactions.
  • These reactions can manifest during or days after transfusion.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review adverse effects of transfusion therapy.
  • To highlight the etiopathogenesis, recognition, and treatment of transfusion reactions.
  • To emphasize the importance of monitoring blood component transfusions.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of adverse transfusion reactions.
  • Discussion of clinical manifestations and management strategies.
  • Emphasis on monitoring and prompt intervention.
