Abstract
Patients with inflammatory bowel disease exhibited a very high risk of transfusion-induced red cell alloimmunization, possibly potentiated by inflammation. Aside from a restrictive transfusion strategy, the implementation of prophylactic blood group phenotype matching of red cell concentrates (not only for ABO and RhD but also RhCcEe, Kell, Kidd, Duffy) could prevent antibody induction and associated complications in these patients.
