‘Ban Chugtai Lab’ or #BanChugtaiLab has been trending on Twitter. In a Tweet, it was shared that Chugtai Lab reported the wrong blood type for a patient. On the other hand, Surgimed Hospital in Lahore transfused the wrong blood type. And the patient, reportedly named Kiran, suffered from renal failure.<\/p>\n
Before we understand what Hemolytic transfusion is, we need to understand why some patients need a blood transfusion. Blood transfusion involves the transfer of blood into someone’s circulation. This is done intravenously. This is used for several different medical reasons- especially when a patient has lost components of blood.<\/p>\n
Hemolytic transfusion occurs when a patient’s blood type does not match with that of the transfused blood. After this, the transfused red blood cells are attacked by the immune system. This life-threatening, as it proved to be so in this case as well.<\/p>\n
Kiran now has kidney [renal] failure because of the lab and hospital’s careless mistakes.<\/p>\n
Netizens are infuriated after hearing of this blunder made by the well-known medical institutes. Many are now demanding that Chugtai Lab and Surgimed Hospital Lahore get banned. ‘Ban Chugtai Lab’ has been trending on Twitter<\/a> since last night.<\/p>\n Let’s take a look at some of the Tweets:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Chugtai Lab reported the Blood type of Patient Kiran AB+,which is incorrect, her actual Blood type is B+.But incompetent doctors of Surgimed Hospital Lahore transfused wrong blood type AB+ that caused renal failure..#BanChughtaiLab<\/a> #JusticeforKiran<\/a><\/p>\n — Ubaid Ullah (@ubaidullaharif1) February 16, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
