Article Synopsis
- Autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) is a rare condition where the body's immune system attacks its own red blood cells, causing them to break down, and can be classified into different types.
- Researchers studied 11 patients suspected of having AIHA to understand how it works and what treatments might help them.
- Most of the patients had a type called secondary AIHA, with some having warm AIHA and others having mixed AIHA; accurate testing is important for correct diagnosis and treatment.
Introduction: Increasing demand for platelet transfusion implies the need to recruit greater numbers of donors. We planned this study to evaluate donor safety issues with regards to changes in hematological values after plateletpheresis to improve donor safety and satisfaction.
Materials & Methods: The study was conducted on 1000 healthy plateletpheresis donors over a period of 24 months.
Background: Alloantibodies may be detected in blood donors who have either been transfused previously or female donors with previous obstetric events. These antibodies can occasionally cause severe transfusion reaction, if a large amount of plasma or whole blood is transfused, as in massive transfusions and pediatric patients.
Aims: The present study aims to assess the prevalence of red cell antibodies in healthy blood donors at a tertiary care hospital-based blood bank in India.
