Hemolytic transfusion reaction is a life-threatening blood transfusion reaction (Yahalom & Zelig, 2015). Its symptoms can be displayed immediately or seen over days to weeks after the transfusion. Immediate action must take place in order for the patient to survive. When patients are given the wrong blood type an ABO incompatibility take place causing the destruction of their red blood cell (Berseus, Boman, Nessen, & Westerberg, 2013).
The main function of the patient immune system is to protect against microbes such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi, unpredicted extremes of the immune response could lead to disease state (Uzzaman & Cho, 2012). The patient immune system will produce an immunologic reaction against the incompatible transfuse
