25
Q

What are the issues associated with the transfusion of RhD positive with an RhD negative patient?

A

Delayed hemolytic transfusion reaction with anemia

26
Q

What is hemolytic disease of the newborn?

A

RhD negative mother has anti-D subsequent pregnancies involved RhD positive mothers, results in IgG anti-D antibodies crossing the placenta, attach to positive RhD positive fetal red blood cells, resulting in hemolysis of fetal cells

27
Q

What is the aim to treat RhD negative patients?

A

Transfuse blood of the same RhD group

28
Q

Which is the most useful blood group?

A

Group O negative (RhD negative)- when the patient blood group is not known.

29
Q

What is antibody screening?

A

Patient screened to exclude any clinically significant immune antibodies

Q

What is a negative result?

A

Any donor blood (ABO & RhD compatible) provided

33
Q

What is a positive result?

A

Antibody identified using large panel of red cells, donor units of blood lack corresponding blood antigen are chosen for cross-referencing with recipient plasma prior to transfusion

34
Q

How is blood tested for ABO group?

A

Test with anti-A and Anti-B antibodies

Test with anti-D reagent

35
Q

Which is the age group for donor selection?

A

Q

Which groups of donors are excluded from blood donors?

A

Bloodborne diseases (Risk of bacterial, viral or parasitic infections, or drugs)

37
Q

What is the window period of disease?

A

Individuals have pathogen however do not present symptoms or detection

38
Q

What is prion proteins?

A

Lymphocyte membranes and platelets; prions of variant
CJD diease are found in lymphoreitcular tissues
cjd transmitted by transfusions of blood or blood products in humans, developmentof vCJD
