ABSTRACT
Transfusion related immunomodulation (TRIM) is a consequence of the presence in the plasma from cellular components stored in the Blood Bank for variable periods. The storage allows the release of cytokines at a concentration of up to 20 times the level they are at the beginning of this storage. These cytokines are related to the presence of leukocytes, which is why we used the leukoreduction in principle to abate non-hemolytic febrile reactions. The TRIM can have beneficial or harmful effects to the patient eg. tolerance to allogenic kidney transplantation and higher proportion of mortality in transfused patients in Intensive Care Units (30 days) and in greater long-term in patients with major surgery. More information is required from randomized controlled trials to confirm these observations. As this occurs, you should carefully evaluate the indication of pre-storage leukoreduced blood transfusion and in some cases, irradiated blood to eliminate mononuclear cells that persist after leukoreduction.
