    Be aware of the risk factors

    There are several risk factors associated with blood incompatibility. These include:

    • Receiving multiple blood transfusions

    • Having an infection before the transfusion

    • Being allergic to one or more of the donor’s blood type(s)

    • Having a medical condition that makes you more likely to develop complications from a blood transfusion

    • Having had a previous reaction to a blood transfusion

     

    Seek medical attention immediately if you experience any of these symptoms.

    When should I see my doctor?

    If you think you may have been exposed to blood products, call your doctor right away. He or she will ask questions about your exposure and perform tests to determine whether you need further treatment.

     

    What causes blood incompatibility?

    Blood incompatibility occurs when two people receive incompatible blood products during a medical procedure. This happens because the recipient's body does not recognize the donor's blood as its own. It also means that the recipient's immune system treats the donated blood as foreign matter and attacks it.
