Detailed explanation-1: -Antibodies against Rh (CEce) and Kidd (Jka and Jkb) system antigens are mostly implicated in delayed hemolytic transfusion reactions (DHTR), which is a potentially life-threatening complication observed in patients receiving chronic transfusions.
Detailed explanation-2: -Acute hemolytic transfusion reactions are usually caused by ABO incompatibility. This potentially fatal complication occurs in about 1 in 30, 000 transfusions. As little as 20 to 30 mL of incompatible RBCs can cause agitation, nausea and vomiting, dyspnea, fever, flushing, hypotension, tachycardia, and hemoglobinuria.
Detailed explanation-3: -Classically, acute hemolytic transfusion reaction is described as a triad of symptoms; fever, flank pain, and red or brown urine. However, this classic presentation is not seen often. Other symptoms are chills, hypotension, renal failure, back pain, or signs of disseminated intravascular coagulation.
