What are mild side effects of having a blood transfusion?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many: "mild" side effects can include fever during the transfusion. Most other side effects i would not consider mild and can include both hemolytic and non-hemolytic transfusion reactions, viral or bacterial infections, transfusion related lung injury, temporary suppression of the immune system among others.
