During infusion or transfusion - what does this mean
Transfusion-related acute lung injury (trali) is a rare but serious complication of blood transfusions that occurs when a patient experiences acute respiratory distress shortly after receiving a blood transfusion. it is caused by an immune reaction in which antibodies in the donor's blood attack the patient's lung tissue, causing inflammation and fluid accumulation in the lungs. symptoms of trali include shortness of breath, coughing, fever, and chest pain.
What happens during the disease - during infusion or transfusion
The pathogenesis of an adverse reaction to an infusion or transfusion is often caused by an immunological reaction to the foreign material, such as antibodies or antigens, present in the donor's blood. this can lead to the release of inflammatory mediators, such as histamine, which can cause a variety of symptoms, including fever, chills, rash, and anaphylaxis. in some cases, the reaction can be more severe and result in organ failure or death.
