“…Blood transfusions are frequently required to support anemic and bleeding animals. 1,2 Although they can be potentially life-saving, transfusions are not without risks due to blood type incompatibility, transmission of infectious diseases, and inadequate quality of blood products. [3][4][5] Although dogs lack naturally occurring alloantibodies to disparate blood groups of clinical importance, induced alloantibodies can lead to a life-threatening acute hemolytic transfusion reaction (HTR) in previously sensitized recipients.…”

The frequency of DEA 1.1-positive dogs among 4 Turkish breeds is high compared with that of most other breeds previously surveyed. The predicted risk of both sensitization and occurrence of DEA 1.1-related HTR following transfusion between dogs of either the same or different Turkish breeds was considerable. Although few dogs are transfused ≥4 days after the first transfusion, we recommend that (1) all donors and recipients be typed for DEA 1.1, (2) DEA 1.1-negative recipients receive only DEA 1.1-negative blood, and (3) blood be cross-matched prior to transfusing any dog ≥4 days after the first transfusion. These guidelines are also applicable to other breeds and countries.

“…Blood transfusion is an important part of the treatment of many medical and surgical diseases of companion animals, but there are numerous complications associated with the administration of blood products. Fortunately, overt transfusion reactions in dogs are relatively infrequent, with incidence rates of 3.0, 3.3, 4.2, and 13% 1–4 …”

Background: Removal of leukocytes (LR) has been shown to eliminate or attenuate many of the adverse effects of transfusion in experimental animals and humans.Hypothesis/Objectives: Transfusion of stored packed red blood cells (pRBCs) is associated with an inflammatory response in dogs and prestorage LR attenuates the inflammatory response.Animals: Thirteen random-source, clinically healthy, medium and large breed dogs. Methods: Experimental study. On day 0, animals were examined and baseline blood samples were collected for analysis. Whole blood was then collected for processing with and without LR, and stored as pRBC. Twenty-one days later, stored pRBCs were transfused back to the donor. Blood samples were collected before and 1 and 3 days after transfusion.Results: In the dogs that received non-LR pRBCs (n 5 6) there was a significant increase from baseline in white blood cell count from a mean (SD) of 8.20 (2.74) to 13.95 (4.60) Â 10 3 cells/mL (P o .001) and in segmented neutrophil count from a mean (SD) of 5.76 (2.70) to 11.91 (4.71) Â 10 3 cells/mL (P o .001). There were also significant increases in fibrinogen from a mean (SD) of 129.7 (24.2) to 268.6 (46.7) mg/dL (P o .001) and C-reactive protein from a mean (SD) of 1.9 (2.1) to 78.3 (39.3) mg/mL (P o .001). There was no significant increase from baseline in any of the markers in the dogs that received LR pRBC (n 5 5).Conclusions and Clinical Importance: There is a profound inflammatory response to transfusion in normal dogs, which is eliminated by LR of the pRBC units.

“…[1][2][3][4] However, because many of our critically ill patients exhibit signs that are similar to the clinical signs of a transfusion reaction (fever, weakness, tachycardia, tachypnea) it is possible that some percentage of transfusion reactions are overlooked with the clinical signs attributed to the original illness. Most studies report relatively infrequent percentages of overt transfusion reactions in dogs, with incidence rates of 3.0%, 3.3%, 4.2%, and 13%.…”
