irradiating to prevent antibodies?
Hi Everyone,
Is it true that irradiating the transfusions prevents antibodies from forming? This is what my doctor told me when I started receiving transfusions and she told me she always ordered my platelets, etc irradiated. I am hoping this is one problem I managed to avoid just in case I need to consider transplant in the future .... thanks!
