Abstract Background and Objectives There is a varied prevalence of red cell
alloimmunization being reported from different parts of India. This study aimed to estimate …

The molecular basis of the blood group antigens was identified first in the 1980s and 1990s.
Since then the importance of molecular biology in transfusion medicine has been described …

Background: Unexpected red blood cell alloantibodies can cause hemolytic transfusion
reactions. In this study, the prevalence of alloimmunization, the rate of identification of …

Aim To study the frequency of alloantibodies and autoantibodies in the healthy blood donors
and patient population visiting our hospital. Materials and Methods The Column …

Methods: All sickle cell disease patients undergoing red cell transfusion between 2008 and
2016, were included. During this period, a large number of β-thalassaemia major patients …

Objective Preoperative type and cross are often routinely ordered before elective
endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR), but the cost of this practice is high, and transfusion is …

Red blood cell alloimmunization occurs due to the genetic disparity of red cell antigens
between donor and recipient. In the present study, we report a spectrum of red cell …

Background Preoperative type and screen (TS) is routinely performed before elective
thoracic surgery. We sought to evaluate the utility of this practice by examining our …

There is paucity of literature regarding efficacy of transfusion of Rh and Kell matched blood
in reducing alloimmunization risk among non-chronically transfused patients. A prospective …

Methods: Records of 1433 liver transplants performed from January 2009 to March 2015
were retrieved and reviewed. Antibody screening was performed both for liver donors, and …
