Impact of buffy coat reduction on the severity of febrile nonhemolytic transfusion reactions with red cell components [PDF]

Asian Journal of Transfusion Science, 2023
BACKGROUND: Febrile nonhemolytic transfusion reactions (FNHTRs) are the most common adverse reaction reported under the Haemovigilance Programme of India, and the use of leukodepleted blood products is recommended. The severity of the reaction may affect

Evaluation of leukocyte depletion of packed red blood cells for the prevention of clinically observed transfusion reactions at a medical center in Eastern Taiwan [PDF]

Tzu Chi Medical Journal
Objectives: The incidence of febrile nonhemolytic transfusion reactions (FNHTRs) is correlated with the level of cytokines released by donor leukocytes in blood bags during storage, which is the most common transfusion reaction. The study aimed to reveal

Feeling the burn: the significant burden of febrile nonhemolytic transfusion reactions [PDF]

Transfusion, 2017
BACKGROUNDFebrile nonhemolytic transfusion reactions (FNHTRs) are characterized by a post‐transfusion temperature rise (of ≥ 1°C, to ≥ 38°C) or chills/rigors unrelated to the underlying condition. FNHTRs are provoked by inflammatory cytokines in the product or by host antileukocyte antibodies against residual donor leukocytes. FNHTRs are among the most

Effects of Prestorage vs Poststorage Leukoreduction on the Rate of Febrile Nonhemolytic Transfusion Reactions to Platelets [PDF]

American Journal of Clinical Pathology, 2012
The purpose of this study was to assess the incidence of febrile nonhemolytic transfusion reactions (FNHTRs) to concurrent transfusions of prestorage-leukoreduced (PreSLR) pooled platelets, poststorage-leukoreduced (PostSLR) pooled platelets, nonleukoreduced (NonLR) pooled platelets, and apheresis single-donor platelets (SDPs) to compare the rates of ...

Acetaminophen and Diphenhydramine Premedication for Allergic and Febrile Nonhemolytic Transfusion Reactions: Good Prophylaxis or Bad Practice? [PDF]

Transfusion Medicine Reviews, 2007
Febrile nonhemolytic and allergic reactions are the most common transfusion reactions, but usually do not cause significant morbidity. In an attempt to prevent these reactions, US physicians prescribe acetaminophen or diphenhydramine premedication before more than 50% of blood component transfusions.

Febrile Nonhemolytic Transfusion Reactions

Archives of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, 2004
Abstract Context .—Febrile nonhemolytic transfusion reactions (FNHTRs) cause unwelcome interruptions during the course of blood product transfusions and necessitate measures to verify the nature of the reaction and to exclude certain dangerous reactions, such as hemolytic and septic phenomena.
