Febrile Non-Hemolytic Transfusion Reactions 0
Febrile Non-Hemolytic Transfusion Reactions (FNHTRs) are the most common type of transfusion reaction, characterized by fever and chills without evidence of hemolysis. They are typically caused by cytokines in the transfused blood or an immune response to donor leukocytes, and while generally not life-threatening, they require careful monitoring and management to ensure patient safety.
