Avatar f tn So, IF and that is IF he received a blood transfusion there is a high probability that he could of contracted Hep C from the transfusion. Or the blade used to stab him could have been tainted with someone else's blood that was Hep C positive. Secondly, all other risk factors have been ruled out? Yes, I work in the medical field.

250701 tn?1320974765 the blood type thing means they will check to see if you are a neg, b post, opositive that type of thing so they can give you the proper blood. I don't think that a blood transfusion would hurt I had one in 86 cant remember because it was emergency surgery. My dad had several transfusions with leukemia and they made him feel much better, he just hated to go into the hospital and be poked.

She changed a Infusion tube , but I'm not sure her blood have not into the bottle, but her wound not touch the needle but contact with my hand.Have a risk?
1995824 tn?1330379049 9 and my doctor wants me to go to hospital tomorrow for blood transfusion. Can anyone tell me about how many pints this is going to require to build me up? Also, does it require an overnight stay in the hospital. Can I eat prior to going to hospital? Any advice would be sooo appreciated. I have no idea about blood transfusions. Many thanks!
Avatar f tn I think they should give a broad spectrum antibiotic along with a week or two of mepron to all blood transfusion recipients. It would certainly cut down on transfusion transmitted infections.
Avatar f tn He lives in Vietnam, so a doctor doesn't do much for him. It's started when he was 1 until now. He have to have a blood transfusion every 10 days, he's my cousin's son. It cost $100 for every blood transfusion, that's just the cost of blood.
Avatar n tn Today about 20 minutes after my lunch I started sweating, feeling weak, heart racing, etc. I checked my blood sugar and it was 71 after eating a chicken salad, salad. I checked it before eating and it was 77 so why would it go down after eating a salad and a few wheat crackers? 71 is normal but again I felt horrible, weak, shaky, anxiety, etc. Could this be something other than Hypoglycemia? Before I had lunch I ran 2.5 miles on the treatmill and felt fine so this is beginning to puzzle me.
Avatar n tn If your blood glucose was 61 an hour or two after breakfast, especially if your breakfast was fairly high carb (such as cereal, bread, etc) you might have a specific type of hypoglycemia called reactive hypoglycemia which is people who have low blood sugar after a meal high in carbs. I would suggest seeing your doctor and getting tested to see what type of hypoglycemia you have and to make sure you aren't pre-diabetes.
Avatar f tn What is the rate or statistics these days of contracting Hiv VIA BLOOD TRANSFUSION? I am sick to my stomach since I had the blood transfusion. I had a c section and was at 5 in my blood level.
Avatar f tn Blood for transfusion is routinely screened using the best possible tests for multiple possible infections including HIV and hepatitis, A few months ago the first HIV infection transmitted through blood transfusion in over 8 years was reported by CDC, making the risk of HIV from transfusion about 1 in 1.5 million transfusions. Put another way, you are about 10 times more likely to get hit by lightening than to get HIV from a blood transfusion. You are not at meaningful risk.
Avatar n tn Hello vprrchk ~ we're glad you found us and so happy that you find our site helpful to you! The condition you are referring to is HYPOGLYCEMIA which means 'low blood sugar.' Every person's sensitivity level is different and therefore where one person may remain conscious at a level of 50, another may encounter a seizure at that same level. I did type "hypoglycemia" into google and many, many links showed up, so try doing that for additional resources.
