What is the adequate transfusion policy in the context of a severe Ig A deficient patient undergoing liver transplantation?

23 December 2013 1 4K Report

Lg A deficient blood components are a scarce resource. Patients with severe Ig A deficiency usually develop anti-IgA and anaphylactic transfusion reactions if the use of non-IgA-deficient blood components is maintained.

Are "Ig A deficient" blood components required during surgery, assuming the transplanted liver already has Ig A?

Jorge Monge-Ruiz

Thank you for your answer Mohamed.

So, in case you have a patient with known severe Ig A deficiency which has a previous history of transfusion reaction due to anti-IgA: Would you use Ig A deficient blood components during liver transplantation?.
