Is food irradiation good or bad?

Irradiation damages the quality of food. The free radicals bounce around in the food, damage vitamins and enzymes, and combine with existing chemicals (like pesticides) in the food to form new chemicals, called unique radiolytic products (URPs). Some of these URPs are known toxins (e.g., benzene, formaldehyde).

Why do we irradiate blood products?

Irradiation of blood is done to prevent graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) in susceptible patients getting transfusion. Both will inactivate the lymphocytes in the components and prevent their proliferation and attack on recipient tissues after transfusion.

Are all blood products irradiated?

Is all blood routinely irradiated? Red cell and platelet transfusions are not routinely irradiated and need to be irradiated ‘on demand’ for patients at risk of TA-GvHD. It is important that you remind your medical team of your need for irradiated blood as they have to order it specially.

Who should get irradiated blood products?

Immunocompromised patients such as

  • Infants (particularly premature) up to 4, 6, or 12 months depending on institutional policy.
  • Intrauterine transfusion* and/or neonatal exchange transfusion recipients.
  • Congenital immunodeficiency disorders of cellular immunity (i.e., SCID, DiGeorge)*

Why are blood products Leukoreduced and irradiated?

Irradiated Blood: Irradiation is needed to destroy all nucleated cells and living leukocytes (white blood cells), particularly lymphocytes that could cause transfusion associated graft versus host disease (TAGVD).

What does Leukoreduced blood mean?

Leukoreduction is the removal of white blood cells (or leukocytes) from the blood or blood components supplied for blood transfusion. After the removal of the leukocytes, the blood product is said to be leukoreduced.

When can you buy Leukoreduced blood?

Leukoreduced and irradiated erythrocytes should be used when transfusing select patients who are immunocompromised to reduce the risk of transfusion-associated graft-versus-host disease and febrile nonhemolytic transfusion reaction.
