Question
Part 3: The patient required several blood transfusions in the postoperative period due to persistently low hemoglobin levels. On post- operative day #2, the patient had 7 g/dL hemoglobin (normal is 9.5 to 13 g/dL for infants) and received 50 mL of type AB packed RBCs, resulting in an adequate response with hemoglobin of 8.4 g/dL. However, that night the patient's hemoglobin was found to be 6.8 g/dL 3. What type of illness is the patient suffering from in the post-operative period? What characteristics are associated with this illness? Part 4: The patient did not suffer any internal bleeding during the post-operative period. A serum antibody test prior to transfusion was performed on the patient during the post- transplant period. The results were as follows: Serum Antibodies Anti-A Anti-B Patient (recipient) + 4. How have the antibodies in the patients' blood changed after transplantation? Do you think this change can explain the patient's low hemoglobin? Why or why not.Explanation / Answer
3. Patients may be suffered in iron deficiency anemia.patients can be develop iron deficiency anemia.some medicines like aspirin can also cause the low Hb level.
4. serum antibody test performed it show that AB + blood is given to the patient but due to the transplant the body graft rejection can also possible. and in infant LIver is the site of haemopoisis ,if the liver transplant take place it can be possible.
