refimprove date August 2010 A Hypotensive transfusionreaction or HTR is a rare condition that presents with hypotension associated with administration of blood product s. The hypotension quickly resolves when the transfusion is stopped. HTRs are caused by the production of bradykinin produced through Factor XII activation by negatively charged surfaces such as filters. When mechanisms for the degradation of bradykinin are impaired, the peptide builds up and causes hypotension. Angiotensin converting enzyme or ACE is primarily responsible for its degradation 75 but can be inhibited by administration of blood pressure medications called ACE inhibitor s. Polymorphism s in ACE or aminopeptidase P APP , another enzyme responsible for bradykinin degradation 20 may also contribute to HTRs. ref name medscape http www.medscape.com viewarticle 543936. ref References reflist Category Hypotension ... more details

Unreferenced stub auto yes date December 2009 An exchange transfusion is a medical treatment in which apheresis is used to remove one person s red blood cell s or platelet s and replace them with blood transfusion transfused blood products. Exchange transfusion is used in the treatment of a number of disease s, including Sickle cell disease Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura TTP Hemolytic disease of the newborn Description An exchange transfusion requires that the patient s blood can be removed and replaced. In most cases, this involves placing one or more thin tubes, called catheters, into a blood vessel. The exchange transfusion is done in cycles each one usually lasts a few minutes. The patient s blood is slowly withdrawn usually about 5 to 20 mL at a time, depending on the patient s size and the severity of illness . An equal amount of fresh, prewarmed blood or plasma flows into the patient s body. This cycle is repeated until the correct volume of blood has been replaced. After the exchange transfusion, catheters may be left in place in case the procedure needs to be repeated. In diseases such as sickle cell anemia, blood is removed and replaced with donor blood. In conditions such as neonatal polycythemia, a specific amount of the child s blood is removed and replaced with a normal saline solution, plasma, or albumin the clear liquid portion of blood . This decreases the total number of red blood cells in the body and makes it easier for blood to flow through the body. Risks General risks are the same as with any transfusion. Other possible complications include thrombosis ... may need to be monitored for several days in the hospital after the transfusion, but the length of stay generally depends on the condition for which the exchange transfusion was performed.

Cadaveric blood transfusion is the transfusion of blood from a dead body to a living person. History In 1929, professor Shamov of Kharkov , USSR , reported the experimental use of cadaveric blood and demonstrated the absence of toxicity. Russian surgeon Sergei Yudin pioneered the transfusion of cadaveric blood and performed this successfully for the first time on March 23, 1930. Yudin also reported his first seven clinic clinical transfusions with cadaveric blood at the Fourth Congress of Ukraine Ukrainian Surgeons at Kharkov in September 1930. With the discovery that cadaveric blood could be stored safely, time was provided for both serology serological tests and bacteriology bacteriological examinations. Cadaveric blood was apparently never used widely, even in Russia. From these studies, however have developed a variety of means and methods for the collection, preservation, and storage of blood for transfusion, all which may be grouped under the generic term of blood bank . Although cadaver blood transfusion did not catch on in the United States , Dr. Bernard Fantus modified the Soviet idea by preserving blood from healthy living persons.

A Transfusion transmitted infection TTI is a virus , parasite , or other potential pathogen that can be transmitted in blood donation donated blood through a transfusion to a recipient. The term is usually limited to known pathogens, but also sometimes includes agents such as Simian foamy virus which are not known to cause disease. Preventing the spread of these diseases by blood transfusion is addressed in several ways. In many cases, the blood is tested for the pathogen, sometimes with several different methodologies. Donors of blood are also screened for signs and symptoms of disease and for activities that might put them at risk for infection. If a local supply is not safe, blood may be imported from other areas. Human immunodeficiency virus HIV leads to the best known of the transfusion transmitted diseases, acquired immune deficiency syndrome AIDS . Blood that is processed into medications by fractionation is treated in a multi step process called pathogen inactivation that is analogous to pasteurization it destroys most viruses and bacteria in the blood.

Taxobox color violet name Transfusion Transmitted Virus virus group ii familia Anelloviridae genus Anellovirus species Transfusion Transmitted Virus TT virus TTV was the first member of the new family Anelloviridae to be discovered. Initial discovery TTV , for Transfusion Transmitted Virus or Torque teno virus was first reported in a Japanese patient in 1997 by the research scientist T. Nishizawa. The virus is extremely common, even in healthy individuals &mdash as much as 100 prevalent in some countries, and in approximately 10 of blood donors in the UK and the US. Although it does not appear to cause symptoms of hepatitis on its own, it is often found in patients with liver disease ref Biagini, P Human circoviruses. , pages 95 101. Veterinary Microbiology, 2004. ref . For the most part, TTV infection is believed to be asymptomatic . History Initially found in Japanese patients with hepatitis of unknown aetiology , TTV was detected in various populations without proven pathology, including blood donors. This new virus was initially discovered in 1997 by means of representational difference analysis RDA in the plasma of a Japanese patient initials T.T. with posttransfusion hepatitis. A sequence N22 of 500 nucleotides nt was first characterized and further extended to about 3700 nt TA278 clone ref Nishizawa, T., Okamoto, H., Konishi, K., Yoshizawa, H., Miyakawa, Y., Mayumi, M., 1997. A novel DNA virus TTV associated with elevated transaminase levels in posttransfusion hepatitis of unknown etiology. Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 241, 92 97. ref . At that time, sequence analysis suggested that TTV was related to the Parvoviridae family. At the end of 1998, two independent studies demonstrated the presence of an additional GC rich region of about 120 nt which lead to the discovery of the circular nature of the TTV genome 3800 nt . This finding permitted to establish the relationship ... suspected to be transmitted only by blood transfusion ref Biagini, P., Gallian, P., Cantaloube, J.F. ... more details
