The objective of this study was to document the prevalence of feline blood types in the Iberian Peninsula and to determine the potential risk of incompatibility-related transfusion reactions in unmatched transfusions and the potential risk of neonatal isoerythrolysis (NI) in kittens born to parents of unknown blood type.
Blood samples were obtained from blood donors of the Animal Blood Bank (BSA-Banco de Sangue Animal). Blood typing was performed using a card method (RapidVet-H Feline Blood Typing; MDS).
The studied population comprised 1070 purebred and non-purebred cats from Portugal and Spain aged between 1 and 8 years. Overall, frequencies of blood types A and B were 96.5% and 3.5%, respectively. No AB cats were found. Based on these data, the potential risks of NI and transfusion reactions in unmatched transfusions were calculated to be 6.8% and 2.8%, respectively.
Unlike previous studies, no type AB cats were found in this study. Although the calculated potential risks of transfusion reaction in unmatched transfusions and neonatal isoerythrolysis were low, blood typing prior to blood transfusion and blood typing of cats for breeding purposes are highly recommended.
本研究的目的是记录伊比利亚半岛猫血型的流行情况,并确定未匹配输血中不相容相关输血反应的潜在风险以及血型未知的父母所生小猫发生新生儿溶血病(NI)的潜在风险。
从动物血库(BSA - 动物血库)的献血者处采集血样。使用卡片法(RapidVet - H猫血型鉴定;MDS)进行血型鉴定。
研究对象包括来自葡萄牙和西班牙的1070只1至8岁的纯种和非纯种猫。总体而言,A型和B型血的频率分别为96.5%和3.5%。未发现AB型猫。基于这些数据,未匹配输血中NI和输血反应的潜在风险分别计算为6.8%和2.8%。
与先前的研究不同,本研究未发现AB型猫。尽管未匹配输血和新生儿溶血病中计算出的输血反应潜在风险较低,但强烈建议在输血前进行血型鉴定以及对用于繁殖的猫进行血型鉴定。
