Allogeneic Red Cell Transfusion and Its Influence on Relevant Humoral and Cellular Immunological Parameters
In Brief
An observational study evaluating No blood transfusion, Day 0 blood transfusion, and 1 other intervention for Incompatible Blood Transfusion and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 60 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
An increasing number of publications have demonstrated that homologous (allogeneic) blood transfusion impairs outcome in cancer and non-cancer patients. Leukocyte depletion of blood products cannot solve these problems, despite improved quality of red cells; a recent study demonstrated deteriorated outcome of cancer patients with elective colon surgery and transfusion of leukocyte depleted allogeneic blood.
