LOINC description : Autologous blood donations are donations that individuals give for their own use,
for example before a surgery. Autologous blood can be bacterially contaminated much
like allogeneic blood and cause a transfusion reaction. Culturing the autologous blood
unit may be a part of the transfusion reaction workup protocol. Whether the blood
unit was autologous and or allogeneic is important information for the transfusion
reaction investigation by revealing the collection and transfusion processes and workflow
that may have allowed the unit to become contaminated. [PMID: 9563411].;
