Delayed hemolytic transfusion reaction

Delayed hemolytic transfusion reaction

A delayed hemolytic transfusion reaction (DHTR) is a type of transfusion reaction.[1][2][3] It is defined as fever and other symptoms/ signs of hemolysis more than 24 hours after transfusion; confirmed by one or more of the following:

This can occur up to four weeks after the transfusion.[5]

One way this can occur is if a person without a Kidd blood antigen receives a Kidd antigen in a transfusion. Other common blood groups with this reaction are Duffy and Kell.[6]
