Sex discrepancies in blood donation: Implications for red blood cell characteristics and transfusion efficacy
Red blood cell (RBC) transfusions carry risks, and the mechanisms mediating adverse transfusion outcomes are not fully understood. This review explores the impact of donor sex and donor-recipient sex mismatch on RBC characteristics and transfusion outcomes. Females, at least those in their reproductive age, have a higher proportion of young RBCs in the circulation when compared to males, associated with higher post transfusion recovery. Also, female RBCs exhibit a greater resilience to the storage lesion, with lower hemolysis rates and better rheologic properties. Despite these qualities, transfusion of female RBCs may be associated with adverse transfusion outcomes, such as pulmonary injury, increased mortality, and immunomodulatory effects, which may differ depending on the sex of the recipient, although not all observations are consistent. As a potential mechanism, the presence of immature RBCs, especially reticulocytes, in transfused blood is associated with immunomodulatory effects. Reticulocytes contain residual cellular components which can interact with surrounding blood cells and endothelial cells, in particular in neonates and cancer patients. Understanding the influence of donor sex and RBC age-subpopulation on RBC quality, and investigating the risks and benefits of immature RBCs in transfusions, offers opportunities for optimizing transfusion practices.
期刊介绍:
Transfusion and Apheresis Science brings comprehensive and up-to-date information to physicians and health care professionals involved in the rapidly changing fields of transfusion medicine, hemostasis and apheresis. The journal presents original articles relating to scientific and clinical studies in the areas of immunohematology, transfusion practice, bleeding and thrombotic disorders and both therapeutic and donor apheresis including hematopoietic stem cells. Topics covered include the collection and processing of blood, compatibility testing and guidelines for the use of blood products, as well as screening for and transmission of blood-borne diseases. All areas of apheresis - therapeutic and collection - are also addressed. We would like to specifically encourage allied health professionals in this area to submit manuscripts that relate to improved patient and donor care, technical aspects and educational issues.
Transfusion and Apheresis Science features a "Theme" section which includes, in each issue, a group of papers designed to review a specific topic of current importance in transfusion and hemostasis for the discussion of topical issues specific to apheresis and focuses on the operators'' viewpoint. Another section is "What''s Happening" which provides informal reporting of activities in the field. In addition, brief case reports and Letters to the Editor, as well as reviews of meetings and events of general interest, and a listing of recent patents make the journal a complete source of information for practitioners of transfusion, hemostasis and apheresis science. Immediate dissemination of important information is ensured by the commitment of Transfusion and Apheresis Science to rapid publication of both symposia and submitted papers.
