A patient with blood type AB positive requires a platelet transfusion, but only type O platelets are available. What is the primary concern with this transfusion?
-
A
Anti-A and anti-B antibodies in the donor plasma may cause hemolysis
-
B
The platelets will be immediately destroyed by the recipient's immune system
-
C
Rh incompatibility will trigger an acute hemolytic reaction
-
D
There is no concern because platelets do not carry ABO antigens
