Q: What could be the supporting laboratory finding in (Transfusion-related acute lung injury (TRALI)?
Answer: Laboratory findings may include unexpected haemoconcentration and a sudden fall in serum albumin. As in other causes of acute alveolar capillary leak, the pulmonary exudate in TRALI has a high albumin content. Peripheral blood neutropenia has been reported but neutrophilia is more common.
