The 36 pages that link to Blood transfusion, each with the reason it gives.

• HemoglobinRelated: Transfused red cells raise the amount of circulating hemoglobin available to carry oxygen.

• Intravenous therapyBroader topic: Transfusions use intravenous access to replace red cells, platelets, or plasma.

• Iron deficiency anemiaCompared with: Unlike iron replacement, transfusion can rapidly improve severe symptomatic anemia but does not correct its cause.

• Red blood cellRelated: Transfused red cells can restore oxygen-carrying capacity after blood loss or severe anemia.

• William HarveyRelated: Understanding blood as circulating fluid provided a basis for later transfusion experiments.

• Disseminated intravascular coagulationRelated: Platelets or plasma may be used for significant bleeding or procedures, alongside treatment of the cause.

• ABO blood group systemNarrower topic: ABO matching is a central safety requirement for red-cell transfusions.

• BloodRelated: Transfusions replace blood or specific components after loss or illness.

• Gastrointestinal bleedingRelated: It may restore oxygen-carrying capacity in severe blood loss or symptomatic anemia.

• Hemolytic anemiaRelated: Transfusion may be needed for severe or symptomatic anemia, alongside treatment of its cause.

• Blood donationRelated: Transfusion is the principal direct use of donated blood components.

• Intravenous fluid therapyCompared with: Fluids can support circulation but do not replace red cells or specific blood components lost through bleeding.

• Hepatitis CRelated: Before routine donor screening, transfusion was a major route of HCV transmission.

• HemorrhageRelated: Transfusion can replace components lost during major hemorrhage.

• Jehovah’s WitnessesRelated: Witnesses refuse transfusions of whole blood and its major components on religious grounds, while accepting some medical alternatives.

• ViremiaRelated: Donor viremia can create a risk of transfusion-transmitted viral infection.

• Blood typingRelated: Blood typing helps select compatible red-cell units for transfusion.

• CrossmatchingNarrower topic: Crossmatching is performed to reduce risk before a transfusion.

• Autoimmune hemolytic anemiaRelated: Severe or symptomatic anemia may require red-cell support despite compatibility challenges.

• PhlebotomyRelated: Phlebotomy supplies donor blood that may later be prepared for transfusion.

• Blood bankRelated: Supplying compatible components for transfusion is a central service function.

• Karl LandsteinerRelated: Blood-group compatibility made transfusion far safer and more reliable.

• HematologyRelated: Transfusion is a major supportive treatment for blood loss and severe cytopenias.

• Count DraculaRelated: Lucy Westenra receives transfusions, which contrast medical intervention with Dracula’s blood taking.

• Alexander S. WienerNarrower topic: Rh typing and Wiener’s serological work help prevent dangerous transfusion incompatibility.

• Blood cellRelated: Transfusions can replace particular cellular components when their levels are dangerously low.

• Blood typeRelated: Matching donor and recipient blood types helps prevent immune reactions.

• Harvey J. AlterRelated: Transfusions exposed recipients to the unexplained hepatitis that Alter investigated.

• Trisodium citrateRelated: Citrate anticoagulants help preserve blood components and limit clotting during storage and transfusion.

• Charles R. DrewRelated: Drew’s preservation methods expanded the supply available for transfusions.

• Henrik DamCompared with: Vitamin K treatment supports clotting-factor production, unlike transfusion, which supplies blood components directly.

• Biological materialRelated: Transfusion is a direct clinical use of collected and processed biological material.

• HaemophiliaRelated: Before safe factor concentrates, repeated transfusions were among limited options for severe bleeding.

• Hemic and Immune SystemsRelated: It replaces components lost or deficient through disease, injury, or treatment.

• Hemic and Lymphatic DiseasesRelated: Transfusion is a supportive treatment for selected severe blood-cell deficiencies and bleeding.

• NosebleedRelated: Severe, prolonged bleeding can rarely cause blood loss requiring transfusion.
