What is Transfusion reactions?
Blood transfusion is associated with a number of potential side effects. These include:
Fever
Allergic reaction
Acute haemolysis (immediate breakdown of red blood cells) ...
Transfusion reaction
In medicine, a transfusion reaction is any adverse event which occurs because of a blood transfusion.
Transfusion reaction is a problem that occurs after a patient receives blood. The immune system launches a response against the new blood cells or other parts of the transfusion.

Blood Transfusion Reaction
Mediated by immune or nonimmune factors, a transfusion reaction accompanies or follows I. V. administration of blood components.

Transfusion Reactions
Due to the presence of isoantibodies against non self blood group antigens, individuals of type A blood group immediately raises anti-B antibodies against B-blood group RBCs if transfused with blood from B group.
Transfusion reaction - hemolytic
Acute tubular necrosis is a kidney disorder involving damage to the tubule cells of the kidneys, resulting in acute kidney failure.
Causes ...
Transfusion reactions occur when the blood you are given does not match your blood type. This matching error is rare. The lab may mislabel a unit of blood. A doctor, nurse, or technician may misread the label before the blood is given to you.
Transfusion reactions are usually minor, and caused by antibodies to white blood cells still present in the blood product. This occurs in about 1 to 2% of all transfusions. Most reactions slowly clear after the transfusion is stopped.

One complication that may occur is a reaction to an incompatible blood type (transfusion reaction, ABO incompatibility, hemolytic reaction). Symptoms include chest pain, trouble breathing, fever and chills, and low blood pressure.
Individuals can develop reactions to certain proteins in the blood-called a transfusion reaction. This can make locating appropriately matched donor blood more difficult.

With all transfusions there is the potential of having a transfusion reaction. To prevent this, all patients will receive tylenol and benadryl before the transfusion.
The blood type of the donor and the recipient must be matched to prevent a transfusion reaction, a potentially fatal condition. This is done in the hospital laboratory and is called 'type and cross-match.
Care must be taken if blood transfusion is required, as transfusion reactions can occur following repeated transfusion of blood with kell antigens (as most people have).

Transfusion reactions - a form of allergic response - may hamper the smooth running of a transfusion or cause it to be abandoned completely.
If you get blood in a transfusion that isn't the right type, you may have a transfusion reaction. A mild transfusion reaction rarely is dangerous, but you must get treatment quickly. A severe transfusion reaction can be deadly.
