Antibodies to red blood cell (RBC) alloantigens can increase morbidity and mortality in transfusion recipients. However, alloimmunization rates can vary dramatically, with some patients never generating alloantibodies following transfusion, while others ...

The impact of blood storage on red blood cell (RBC) alloimmunization remains controversial, with some studies suggesting enhancement of RBC‐induced alloantibody production and others failing to observe any impact of storage on alloantibody formation ...

Key Points • Transfusion during proinflammatory events increases alloimmunization in patients with sickle cell disease, which is not mitigated by HU.• High transfusion burden and HbSS and HbSβ0–thalassemia genotypes are additional risk factors for ...

The Development and Consequences of Red Blood Cell Alloimmunization
While red blood cell (RBC) transfusion is the most common medical intervention in hospitalized patients, as with any therapeutic, it is not without risk.

Pathophysiology of Alloimmunization [PDF]
<b><i>Introduction:</i></b> Alloimmunization is caused by exposure to erythrocytes from a donor that expresses blood group antigens other than those of the recipient and is related to processes that alter the balance of the immune system. Knowing the pathophysiology of alloimmunization process is essential to understand clinical

Evidence indicates the life‐saving benefits of early blood product transfusion in severe trauma resuscitation. Many of these products will be RhD‐positive, so understanding the D‐alloimmunization rate is important.

Clodronate inhibits alloimmunization against distinct red blood cell alloantigens in mice
Alloimmunization can be a significant barrier to red blood cell (RBC) transfusion. While alloantigen matching protocols hold promise in reducing alloantibody formation, transfusion‐dependent patients can still experience RBC alloimmunization and ...
