Red cell alloimmunization is associated with increased health care costs, longer
hospitalizations, and higher mortality | Blood Advances | American Society of Hematology Skip …

Many of the clinical/biological factors that contribute to the RBC alloimmune response have
been further elucidated. This knowledge will be applied to identify individuals most likely to …

Despite the significance of red blood cell (RBC) alloimmunization, the lack of standardized
registries in the US has prevented the completion of large studies. Data from 3· 5 years of …

Background Patients receiving red‐blood‐cells may form antibodies against the
alloantigens expressed by red‐blood‐cells, with the risk of serious morbidity and the need …

Red cell alloantigen exposure can cause alloantibody‐associated morbidity. Murine models
have suggested that inflammation modulates red cell alloimmunisation. This study quantifies …

Some countries or regions have registries for sharing data of patients with a history of red
cell antibodies, usually on a voluntary basis. Most countries, however, lack a comprehensive …

Background Matching donor red blood cells based on recipient antigens prevents
alloimmunisation. Knowledge about the immunogenicity of red-blood-cell antigens can help …

At the beginning of the past century the most clinically significant red cell (RBC) antigens,
the ABO blood group, were described. Since then, hundreds of blood group antigens have …

Red cell alloimmunization may induce severe hemolytic side effects. Identification of risk-
modifying conditions will help tailor preventative strategies. This study aims to quantify the …

Millions of RBC units are transfused throughout the world annually. Even though each RBC
unit contains multiple foreign donor antigens, only a minority of transfusion recipients will …
