Article Synopsis
- A study examined the prevalence and risk factors of red blood cell (RBC) immunization in 249 chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients who received blood transfusions at a Malaysian hospital over a year.*
-
- Results showed that 12.4% of patients developed RBC antibodies, with a significant correlation to a history of pregnancy, but no links were found between immunization and factors like demographics or the number of transfusions.*
-
- The findings suggest implementing Rhesus RBC phenotyping for better matching in transfusions, particularly for CKD patients of reproductive age to reduce the risk of RBC immunization.*
