Description
Disparities in red cell antigen expression between donors and recipients with sickle cell disease contribute to high rates of alloimmunization and hemolytic transfusion reactions in this population. In this session, international and national perspectives on the clinical relevance of Rh variants and molecular typing programs by blood collection and hospital services to improve care for people with sickle cell disease will be presented. Unique aspects of hemolytic transfusion reactions in sickle cell disease, such as hyperhemolysis, will also be discussed.
