Leukodepletion of red blood cell or platelet concentrates decreases significantly the number of febrile non hemolytic transfusion reactions. Filtration appears to be very efficient on red blood cell transfusion reactions while its effect with platelet concentrates remains variable.

D016913	Blood Component Transfusion	The transfer of blood components such as erythrocytes, leukocytes, platelets, and plasma from a donor to a recipient or back to the donor. This process differs from the procedures undertaken in PLASMAPHERESIS and types of CYTAPHERESIS; (PLATELETPHERESIS and LEUKAPHERESIS) where, following the removal of plasma or the specific cell components, the remainder is transfused back to the donor.
