Transfusion-Related Acute Lung Injury in an Alcoholic Hepatic Cirrhosis Patient: A Case Report.
Curēus 2023 March
Transfusion-related acute lung injury (TRALI) is one of the leading causes of transfusion-related mortality in the United States. It is a rare, potentially fatal complication of blood product transfusion, often seen in one in 5000 transfusion cases. On average, studies show a reported estimated fatality rate of 5-24% with a mortality rate of 12%. In the US, TRALI has been responsible for 30% of transfusion-related deaths. In this report, we discuss a case of a 51-year female with a past medical history of alcohol dependence and depression who presented complaining of dizziness and lightheadedness for 1 week. Subsequent diagnostic assessment and therapeutic interventions included various imaging studies, serial hematological evaluations, and eventual administration of blood transfusions, intravenous corticosteroids, supplemental oxygenation, and diuresis for clinical management. The occurrence of TRALI is often underreported due to a lack of timely recognition resulting in delayed treatment. Overall, we were able to not only diagnose TRALI in this patient but also effectively comprehend the significance of guiding appropriate management strategies due tohuman leukocyte antigen (HLA) TRALI-mediating antibodies to potentially reduce the overall incidence of such transfusion reactions.
