| The decision is based on the evidence that leukocyte reduction
reduces non-hemolytic febrile reactions, prevents alloimmunization,
reduces transmission of cytomegalovirus (CMV), and may reduce
transfusion-related suppression of the immune system. Clinical studies have shown
that filtering out white blood cells reduces a wide variety of adverse
transfusion reactions including non-hemolytic febrile transfusion
reactions, alloimmunization, transmission of pathogens such as
cytomegalovirus (CMV), and suppression of the immune system. The decision is based on the evidence that leukocyte reduction
reduces non-hemolytic febrile reactions, prevents alloimmunization,
reduces transmission of cytomegalovirus (CMV), and may reduce
transfusion-related suppression of the immune system. |
