PHENOTYPE MATCHED BLOOD
Sagar:
Can somebody give me advice on above. Our blood bank has started to provide phenotype matched blood for thalassemia patients but all this is at cost which we will have to pay. Is is worth to pay for this and give phenotype matched blood.

Phenotype matched blood greatly cuts down on transfusion reactions, and if possible it should be used.
