Red blood cell alloimmunization is influenced by recipient inflammatory state at time of transfusion in patients with sickle cell disease
26 Sept 2014
Abstract excerpt
Sickle cell disease (SCD) patients are at increased risk of red blood cell (RBC) alloimmunization. Recipient inflammatory state at time of transfusion has been shown to regulate alloimmunization in murine models, but evidence is lacking in SCD patients. We retrospectively studied a cohort of alloimmunized SCD patients to determine the influence of pro-inflammatory SCD-related complications at time of transfusion...
