Current research of RBC alloantibodies associated with blood transfusion and its susceptibility factors

Abstract

Blood transfusion, an important auxiliary means of clinical treatment, however, is not absolutely safe and risk-free as the transfusion-associated RBC alloantibodies being a potential risk. The yielding rate of RBC alloantibodies in Chinese Han population is about 0.2%, and the researches concerning its production mechanism is particularly critical due to its important clinical significance in patients′ future blood transfusion or pregnancy. This paper reviews the current research status of red blood cell alloantibodies associated with blood transfusion and its susceptibility factors.
