Clinical response and transfusion reactions of sheep subjected to single homologous blood transfusion.

ABSTRACT: Studies in relation to blood conservation and responses to transfusion are scarce for ruminants. We evaluated the clinical manifestations of sheep that received a single homologous transfusion of whole blood, focusing on transfusion reactions. Eighteen adult sheep were subjected to a single phlebotomy to withdraw 40% of the total blood volume, which was placed into CPDA-1 bags and then divided into G0, animals that received fresh blood, and G15 and G35, animals that received blood stored for 15 or 35 days, respectively. Clinical observations were recorded throughout the transfusion, whereas heart rate, respiratory rate, and rectal temperature were assessed at the following times: 24 hours after phlebotomy and before transfusion; 30 minutes, six, twelve, 24, 48, 72, and 96 hours and eight and 16 days after transfusion. All groups presented transfusion reactions, among which hyperthermia was the most frequent (50% of animals). Tachycardia occurred most frequently in the G35 animals (50% of them). During transfusion G35 animals presented more clinical manifestation (P < 0.05). Transfusion of fresh or stored total blood improved the blood volume, but transfusion reactions occurred, demonstrating that a single transfusion of fresh or stored blood can cause inflammatory and febrile nonhemolytic transfusion reactions in sheep.

All clinically-relevant blood components transmit prion disease following a single blood transfusion: a sheep model of vCJD.

Project description:Variant CJD (vCJD) is an incurable, infectious human disease, likely arising from the consumption of BSE-contaminated meat products. Whilst the epidemic appears to be waning, there is much concern that vCJD infection may be perpetuated in humans by the transfusion of contaminated blood products. Since 2004, several cases of transfusion-associated vCJD transmission have been reported and linked to blood collected from pre-clinically affected donors. Using an animal model in which the disease manifested resembles that of humans affected with vCJD, we examined which blood components used in human medicine are likely to pose the greatest risk of transmitting vCJD via transfusion. We collected two full units of blood from BSE-infected donor animals during the pre-clinical phase of infection. Using methods employed by transfusion services we prepared red cell concentrates, plasma and platelets units (including leucoreduced equivalents). Following transfusion, we showed that all components contain sufficient levels of infectivity to cause disease following only a single transfusion and also that leucoreduction did not prevent disease transmission. These data suggest that all blood components are vectors for prion disease transmission, and highlight the importance of multiple control measures to minimise the risk of human to human transmission of vCJD by blood transfusion.

HOMOLOGOUS BLOOD TRANSFUSION: DO WE HAVE ANY ALTERNATIVES?

Project description:Homologous blood transfusion, despite numerous and serious transfusion associated hazards, is an important treatment modality. Transmission of infectious agents like HIV, hepatitis viruses, malaria, etc is a distinct possibility notwithstanding careful screening of the blood. Predeposit autologous blood transfusion (PABT) and per operative acute normovolemic haemodilution (ANH) are two comparatively safer, simpler and practical alternatives. Unfortunately, their potential remains unexploited. Earnest motivation efforts at PABT and ANH have paid handsome dividends in our hospital. These have now become very popular amongst surgeons as well as the patients. These techniques can be easily adapted at all hospitals to reduce the demand for homologous blood transfusion. ANH can be safely practised even in hospitals without a blood bank.

Metabolomics Approach Based on Multivariate Techniques for Blood Transfusion Reactions.

Project description:Blood transfusions temporarily improve the physical state of the patient but exert widespread effects on immune and non-immune systems. Perioperative allogeneic blood transfusions (ABT) are associated with various risks, including coagulopathy, incompatibility, transmission of infectious agents, and allergic reactions. Nevertheless, little is known about the global metabolic alterations that reflect the possible reactions of blood transfusions. In this study, we investigated metabolite changes generated by ABT in a rat model using metabolomics technology. To further profile the "metabolome" after blood transfusions, we used both liquid chromatography-quadrupole time-of-flight high-definition mass spectrometry and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. ABT promoted a stimulatory microenvironment associated with a relative increase in glucose transporter 1/4 (GLUT1/GLUT4) expression. Supporting this result, glucose metabolism-related enzyme IRS1 and interleukin-6 (IL-6) were abnormally expressed, and levels of lysophosphatidylcholine (LysoPC) and its related enzyme phospholipase A2 (PLA2) were significantly altered in allogeneic groups compared to those in autologous groups. Finally, amino acid metabolism was also altered following ABT. Taken together, our results show a difference between autologous and allogeneic blood transfusions and demonstrate correlations with cancer-associated metabolic changes. Our data provide endogenous information for a better understanding of blood transfusion reactions.

Cytokines and clinical predictors in distinguishing pulmonary transfusion reactions.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Pulmonary transfusion reactions are important complications of blood transfusion, yet differentiating these clinical syndromes is diagnostically challenging. We hypothesized that biologic markers of inflammation could be used in conjunction with clinical predictors to distinguish transfusion-related acute lung injury (TRALI), transfusion-associated circulatory overload (TACO), and possible TRALI. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS:In a nested case-control study performed at the University of California at San Francisco and Mayo Clinic, Rochester, we evaluated clinical data and blood samples drawn before and after transfusion in patients with TRALI (n = 70), possible TRALI (n = 48), TACO (n = 29), and controls (n = 147). Cytokines measured included granulocyte-macrophage-colony-stimulating factor, interleukin (IL)-6, IL-8, IL-10, and tumor necrosis factor-α. Logistic regression and receiver operating characteristics curve analyses were used to determine the accuracy of clinical predictors and laboratory markers in differentiating TACO, TRALI, and possible TRALI. RESULTS:Before and after transfusion, IL-6 and IL-8 were elevated in patients with TRALI and possible TRALI relative to controls, and IL-10 was elevated in patients with TACO and possible TRALI relative to that of TRALI and controls. For all pulmonary transfusion reactions, the combination of clinical variables and cytokine measurements displayed optimal diagnostic performance, and the model comparing TACO and TRALI correctly classified 92% of cases relative to expert panel diagnoses. CONCLUSIONS:Before transfusion, there is evidence of systemic inflammation in patients who develop TRALI and possible TRALI but not TACO. A predictive model incorporating readily available clinical and cytokine data effectively differentiated transfusion-related respiratory complications such as TRALI and TACO.

Relationship between allergic sensitisation-associated single-nucleotide polymorphisms and allergic transfusion reactions and febrile non-haemolytic transfusion reactions in paediatric cases.

Project description:BackgroundAllergic transfusion reactions (ATR) and febrile non-haemolytic transfusion reactions (FNHTR) are common transfusion-related adverse reactions; however, their pathogenesis remains unclear and it is difficult to predict their occurrence. Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) are related to the onset of various diseases and therapy-related adverse events; therefore, identification of SNP related to transfusion-related adverse reactions may help to elucidate the underlying mechanism and predict the onset of these reactions.Materials and methodsWe retrospectively analysed the association between the onset of ATR or FNHTR and 22 allergic sensitisation-related SNP in 219 children (aged ≤20 years) who had haematological and oncological diseases and who had received transfusions of platelets and/or red blood cell concentrates.ResultsAmong the 219 children, 105 had developed an ATR and/or FNHTR at least once. The patients who developed ATR frequently had a risk allele in rs6473223, while the patients who developed FNHTR frequently had a risk allele in rs10893845. Furthermore, patients who developed ATR accompanied by febrile symptoms also frequently had a risk allele in rs10893845, similar to patients who developed FNHTR.DiscussionThe results suggested that allergic sensitisation is associated with the onset of ATR and/or FNHTR in some patients. Although further prospective evaluation is necessary, analysis of these SNP might help to provide safer transfusion therapy by predicting patients at higher risk of transfusion-related adverse reactions and further clarifying the pathogenic mechanism underlying such reactions.

Randomized double-blinded clinical trial on acute transfusion reactions in dogs receiving leukoreduced versus nonleukoreduced packed red blood cells.

Project description:BackgroundLeukoreduction of blood products is commonly performed in human medicine, but its effect on outcome or incidence of transfusion reactions (TRs) in dogs is unknown.ObjectivesTo prospectively evaluate the incidence of acute TRs in, and the outcome of, dogs receiving either leukoreduced (LR) or nonleukoreduced (N-LR) packed red blood cells (PRBC).AnimalsDogs (n = 194) administered PRBC between August 2017 and June 2020.MethodsProspective randomized double-blinded clinical trial. Dogs were randomized to receive either LR or N-LR PRBC and clinicians, nurses and investigators were blinded to the group allocations. The incidence of TRs, change in PCV, hospitalization duration, and survival to discharge were recorded.ResultsOut of the 194 dogs, 96 received LR and 98 received N-LR PRBCs. The mean 12-hour change in PCV value was +9.22% (SD 5.27%) for dogs that received N-LR and +10.69% (SD 6.44%) for dogs that received LR PRBC (effect size 0.26, 95% confidence interval [CI] -0.02 to 0.55), which was not significantly different (P = .08). TRs were documented in 16/194 (8.24%) dogs, with 1/194 (0.51%) being a mild allergic reaction, while 15/194 (7.73%) had suspected febrile nonhemolytic TRs (FNHTRs). FNHTR incidence was not significantly different between the LR (6/96, 6.25%, 95% CI 2.8-13.56) and N-LR (9/98, 9.18%, 95% CI 4.92-17.11) groups (P = .81). Of the 156 dogs that survived to discharge, 80/156 received N-LR PRBC and 76/156 received LR PRBC which was not significantly different (P = .66).Conclusions and clinical importanceA clinical advantage of using LR over N-LR PRBC in terms of TRs and increase in PCV after transfusion was not detected.

Differentiating pulmonary transfusion reactions using recipient and transfusion factors.

Project description:BackgroundIt is increasingly recognized that recipient risk factors play a prominent role in possible transfusion-related acute lung injury (pTRALI) and transfusion-associated circulatory overload (TACO). We hypothesized that both transfusion and recipient factors including natriuretic peptides could be used to distinguish TRALI from TACO and pTRALI.Study design and methodsWe performed a post hoc analysis of a case-control study of pulmonary transfusion reactions conducted at the University of California at San Francisco and Mayo Clinic, Rochester. We evaluated clinical data and brain natriuretic peptides (BNP) levels drawn after transfusion in patients with TRALI (n = 21), pTRALI (n = 26), TACO (n = 22), and controls (n = 24). Logistic regression and receiver operating characteristics curve analyses were used to determine the accuracy of clinical and biomarker predictors in differentiating TRALI from TACO and pTRALI.ResultsWe found that pTRALI and TACO were associated with older age, higher fluid balance, and elevated BNP levels relative to those of controls and TRALI. The following variables were useful in distinguishing cases of pTRALI and TACO from TRALI: age more than 70 years, BNP levels more than 1000 pg/mL, 24-hour fluid balance of more than 3 L, and a lower number of transfused blood components. Using the above variables, our logistic model had a 91% negative predictive value in the differential diagnosis of TRALI.ConclusionsModels incorporating readily available clinical and biomarker data can be used to differentiate transfusion-related respiratory complications. Additional studies examining recipient risk factors and the likelihood of TRALI may be useful in decision making regarding donor white blood cell antibody testing.

TRANSFUSION REACTIONS: AFMC EXPERIENCE.

Project description:Transfusions of blood and its components are useful and lifesaving. Adverse effects occur during or after transfusion, called hazards or complications of blood transfusion. Complications/hazards of various types which occurred in the patients following transfusion of blood/blood components in Armed Forces Hospitals of Pune-Kirkee complex were analysed with relevant investigations. Out of a total number of 13,039 transfusions of blood and blood components from 01 June 1995 to 31 July 1997, there were 104 (0.8%) adverse reactions. Non haemolytic febrile transfusion reaction was the commonest seen in 73 (70.2%) transfusions, followed by allergic reactions in 19 (18.3%) cases. Nonspecific reactions were seen in 11 (10.6%). One haemolytic transfusion reaction occurred due to wrong labelling of blood sample received from the ward for compatibility testing. There were no fatalities.

Alternative blood products and clinical needs in transfusion medicine.

Project description:The primary focus of national blood programs is the provision of a safe and adequate blood supply. This goal is dependent on regular voluntary donations and a regulatory infrastructure that establishes and enforces standards for blood safety. Progress in ex vivo expansion of blood cells from cell sources including peripheral blood, cord blood, induced pluripotent stem cells, and human embryonic stem cell lines will likely make alternative transfusion products available for clinical use in the near future. Initially, alloimmunized patients and individuals with rare blood types are most likely to benefit from alternative products. However, in developed nations voluntary blood donations are projected to be inadequate in the future as blood usage by individuals 60 years and older increases. In developing nations economic and political challenges may impede progress in attaining self-sufficiency. Under these circumstances, ex vivo generated red cells may be needed to supplement the general blood supply.
