Study of the antigenic characteristics of red blood cells units and their sickle cell disease recipients and the G6PD activity of transfused red blood cells units

CONCLUSION: The transfusion protocol is established to prevent immunological reactions due to disparities in blood group antigens between donors and SCD recipients. However, the units of African ancestry donors, which allowed the best compatibility, displayed a high rate of G6PD deficiency. The storage and recovery impact of this deficiency must be evaluated.PMID:38462030 | DOI:10.1016/j.tracli.2024.03.002
