Red‐blood‐cell alloimmunization and number of red‐blood‐cell transfusions

Vox Sanguinis, 2011
Background  Patients receiving red‐blood‐cells may form antibodies against the alloantigens expressed by red‐blood‐cells, with the risk of serious morbidity and the need for extensive phenotype‐matching in subsequent transfusions. The incidence of alloimmunization is considered variable for specific patient groups and for first time antibody formation.

Red Blood Cell ATP Release Correlates with Red Blood Cell Hemolysis

The FASEB Journal, 2017
The elegant and precise matching of blood flow to skeletal muscle from the onset of exercise through the steady state remains an important area of investigation. Release of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) from the red blood cell (RBC) has been postulated as a mediator of peripheral vascular tone in response to shear stress, hypoxia, and mechanical ...

Red Blood Cell Transfusions

JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1970
To the Editor.— It is difficult for me to lend allegiance to the conclusions presented by the AMA Committee on Transfusion and Transplantation in the editorial published inThe Journal( 212 :147, 1970). Specifically, transfusion of red blood cells (RBC) rather than whole blood would certainly provide additional safety in the case of a patient who has ...

Cryopreservation of red blood cells

Vox Sanguinis, 1994
“There is practically no mention in the literature of attempts to keep red blood cells alive in vitro, yet methods for their preservation might have much practical importance, and certainly would possess theoretical interest. Kept cells could be utilized for serum reactions or for transfusion.

Red Blood Cell Enzyme Disorders

Pediatric Clinics of North America, 2018
Mature red blood cells are reliant on the glycolytic pathway for energy production and the hexose monophosphate shunt for cell protection from oxidative insults. The most common red blood cell enzyme disorders are characterized by hemolysis but with wide clinical variability.

Red blood cell transfusion strategies

Transfusion Clinique et Biologique, 2001
Although the hemoglobin level of 100 g/L has been used for many years as the allogeneic red blood cell (RBC) transfusion trigger, current evidence indicates that for most patients a more restrictive transfusion strategy is at least as effective as and possibly superior to a liberal transfusion strategy.

Red Blood Cells

1982
The red blood cell, or erythrocyte, possesses a most unusual cell shape. The discoid form, together with a distinctive red colouration, makes it one of the most easily recognised cell types in the body. It is also probably the most studied cell.

Red blood cell storage lesion

Journal of Veterinary Emergency and Critical Care, 2014
AbstractObjectiveTo summarize current understanding of the mechanisms responsible for changes occurring during red blood cell (RBC) storage, collectively known as the storage lesion, and to review the biological and clinical consequences of increasing storage time of RBCs.Data SourcesHuman and veterinary clinical studies, experimental animal model ...

Cryopreservation of Red Blood Cells

2018
Glycerol and trehalose are widely used protective agents in the cryopreservation of red blood cells (RBCs). This chapter presents a protocol for use of these agents as cryoprotectants of RBCs, with post-thaw assessment of cell survival and cellular oxidative-reductive status. The main aim is to provide a framework for further studies aimed at improving

Red Blood Cell Transfusion Therapy

Medical Clinics of North America, 1984
This article describes the characteristics of alloantibodies associated with accelerated in vivo red cell destruction, pretransfusion tests performed to detect these antibodies, and the resolution of the incompatible crossmatch. Current transfusion practices, the indications for, and the complications of red cell transfusions are discussed.
