Reaction Timing Mechanism Clue
AHTR (Acute Hemolytic) Minutes ABO incompatibility; clerical error Fever + flank pain + hemoglobinuria + DIC + hypotension + chills
DHTR (Delayed Hemolytic) 3–14 days Anamnestic IgG (Kidd, Duffy, Kell, Rh) Falling Hb post-transfusion + jaundice + positive DAT
FNHTR (Febrile Non-Hemolytic) During / shortly after Donor leukocyte cytokines + recipient antibodies Fever + chills, no hemolysis; common, benign
Allergic / urticarial During Donor plasma proteins (IgA in IgA-deficient recipient) Hives, pruritus; mild
Anaphylactic Minutes IgA deficiency + anti-IgA antibodies; severe allergic Hypotension, shock, bronchospasm
TRALI (Transfusion-Related Acute Lung Injury) Within 6 h Donor anti-HLA / anti-HNA antibodies → recipient neutrophil activation New ARDS; bilateral pulmonary edema, hypoxia, normal CVP/PCWP
TACO (Transfusion-Associated Circulatory Overload) During / 6 h Volume overload Pulmonary edema + elevated CVP/PCWP + JVD; especially in CHF, CKD, elderly
Septic / Bacterial contamination During / hours Contaminated platelets > RBC (room temp storage) High fever, hypotension, sepsis picture
TA-GVHD (Transfusion-Associated GVHD) 8–10 days Donor lymphocytes engraft in immunocompromised Pancytopenia + rash + LFT abnormality + diarrhea; nearly 100 % fatal
Iron overload Cumulative (>10–20 RBC units) Transfusional iron deposition Cardiac, hepatic, endocrine — chelation needed
Hyperkalemia During massive transfusion Stored RBC potassium leak Cardiac arrhythmia, esp. neonates / massive
Hypothermia + citrate toxicity (hypocalcemia) Massive transfusion Cold + citrate anticoagulant Calcium replacement during massive transfusion

分類與診斷

Workup of Reaction

  • STOP transfusion at first symptom (fever, chills, hypotension, dyspnea, flank pain, urticaria).
  • Maintain IV access with normal saline (different bag).
  • Verify ID on bag + patient (clerical mismatch is leading cause of AHTR).
  • Send blood bank workup: post-transfusion EDTA + clotted samples + remaining blood bag.
  • Targeted labs: CBC, LDH, haptoglobin, indirect bili, DAT, urinalysis (hemoglobinuria), coagulation panel (DIC).
  • Chest X-ray if respiratory symptoms (TRALI vs TACO).
  • Cultures if febrile (donor unit + patient).

陷阱與考點

Pearls / Pitfalls

  • AHTR is overwhelmingly clerical error (wrong patient / wrong unit) — verify ID twice. Hemolysis is intravascular with hemoglobinuria, DIC, AKI.
  • TRALI is NOT volume overload — normal CVP/PCWP, but ARDS-like presentation. Diuretics worsen it. Treat with respiratory support only. Donors with anti-HLA antibodies (multiparous females) are common source — most blood banks now use male-only plasma to reduce TRALI.
  • TACO = volume overload — diuretics + upright + slow future transfusions. Most common in CHF, CKD, elderly, peds.
  • Anaphylactic reaction in IgA-deficient patient with anti-IgA antibodies — needs washed RBCs or IgA-deficient products for future transfusions.
  • TA-GVHD is preventable with irradiation of cellular blood products. Required in: severe immunocompromise, HCT recipients, hemato-oncology pts on T-cell-depleting therapy (purine analogues, ATG, alemtuzumab, CAR-T pre/post), Hodgkin lymphoma, intrauterine / neonatal transfusions, directed donations from blood relatives.
  • CMV-safe products (leukoreduced or CMV-negative) for: pregnant women, neonates, severely immunocompromised, intrauterine transfusion, transplant recipients.
  • Bacterial contamination more common in platelets (room-temperature stored) than RBCs (refrigerated).
  • Massive transfusion complications: hypothermia, hyperkalemia, hypocalcemia (citrate), dilutional coagulopathy → MTP 1:1:1 + Ca replacement + warming.
  • Iron overload with chronic transfusion — start chelation when ferritin >1000 ng/mL or cumulative >20 RBC units.
  • Acute pain / chest tightness during transfusion of platelets in some pts → mild allergic; differential FNHTR.
  • Reporting: AHTR, TRALI, severe reactions reportable to FDA (USA) / national hemovigilance systems.
