Clinical Relevance of Cytokine Levels in Blood Products: Evidence to Correlate with Morbidity

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Developments in Hematology and Immunology ((DIHI,volume 32))

Abstract

Complications associated with the infusion of blood and blood products are not uncommon. They can present as acute reactions occurring during, or within a few hours of the transfusion, or as delayed events, presenting days or possibly years later (Table 1). Patient morbidity is variable depending on the type of reaction and with some reactions mortality can occur [1,2].
