The effect of unmodified or prestorage white cell‐reduced allogeneic red cell transfusions on the immune responsiveness in orthopedic surgery patients

Abstract: Taken together, these data support the hypothesis that transfusion of > or = 3 units of allogeneic RBCs is associated with early postoperative lymphopenia in otherwise healthy individuals undergoing surgery. These findings were not observed in those individuals transfused with RBCs that had undergone prestorage WBC reduction.

“…Some previous studies observed that the levels of CRP and IL-6 were relative with age,[16] gender,[17] BMI,[18] the total blood loss[1920] or transfusion,[21] or postoperative pain. [12] However, in this study, there were no significant relationships between these background variables and CRP or IL-6 levels.…”

“…Despite the fact that the mechanisms involved in the immunomodulatory effect of allogeneic blood transfusion have not been thoroughly elucidated yet, it has been suggested that the majority of these effects is mediated by the interaction of white blood cells (or their products) in transfused blood and anti-leukocyte antibodies in the recipient plasma [54–56]. It has also been shown that patients transfused with blood without prestorage leukocyte reduction might present lymphocyte count alterations associated with a decrease in natural killer T-cells and therefore be at higher risk for postoperative bacterial infection episodes [57]. Therefore, TRIM seems to depend on the degree of contamination of transfused blood with leukocytes, storage time, and cytokine content [12, 38].…”

“…ABT induced a higher impairment of postoperarive immunity (decreased CD4/CD8 ratio) than a proinflammatory response (high serum levels of IL-6 and IL-10) (Ydy et al, 2007). The immuno -suppressant effect has been related to the blood transfusion volume (Bordin et al, 1999 ;Ikuta et al, 2003 ;Ydy et al, 2007).…”
