abstract：BACKGROUND:Transfusion-related acute lung injury (TRALI) is an uncommon but serious transfusion reaction. Studies have shown that the transfusion of HLA and HNA antibodies in donor plasma can lead to TRALI. Female donors are more likely to have such antibodies due to alloantigen exposure during pregnancy. Many blood su...
