Apart from other transfusion related adverse effects, immunization is a significant complication, particularly in multitransfused recipients.

Alloimmunization complicates the management in form of hemolytic transfusion reactions, difficulty in finding compatible units, delays in transfusion and increasing costs.

However, patients from different backgrounds are variably transfused with whole blood/red cells, which may or may not be leukoreduced. Prophylactic antigen matching reduces the risk of alloimmunization, however, has limitations. RH variants may not be picked up by phenotyping alone.
