BACKGROUND
The agglutination‐based cross‐matching method is sensitive for antibody binding to red blood cells but is only partially predictive of complement‐mediated hemolysis, which is important in many acute hemolytic transfusion reactions. Here, we describe complement hemolysis using human erythrocytes (CHUHE) assays that directly evaluate complement‐mediated hemolysis between individual serum‐plasma...
BACKGROUND
A patient with B+ sickle cell disease received 3 units of red blood cells (RBCs) from two O+ donors and developed fever and hypotension after the first unit, consistent with an acute transfusion reaction (ATR). Anti‐B titers in plasma from each O+ donor were markedly elevated and nondiscriminatory. In order to evaluate the potential for the transfused units to produce complement‐mediated...
