Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An autologous transfusion is a transfusion of blood that is stored from the patient's own body. This is done to prevent the risk of transfusion reactions or infections with blood from other donors. An analogous transfusion refers to a transfusion from a donor with the same blood type as the recipient, while a homologous transfusion refers to a transfusion from any donor with the same blood type. "Self" is not a term commonly used in the context of blood transfusions.
