hydrocortison Explanation: Cold Abs typically is an autoimmune issue and can cause hemolytic reaction. As a treatment, steroids may be used. See the link. However, all the evidence I was able to find is very weak. Another explanation might be that HCN is a home-made abbreviation for some kind of blood preheating treatment/device used to avoid the cold Abs effect. However, 'pod clonou' sounds really like some kind of pre/comedication. The third possible scenario is that HCN is a typo for something else. If the source file is a poorly (re)scanned file, is there any chance the acro can by interpreted differently? Reference: http://new.propedeutika.cz/?p=526 |

pre-medication with hydrocortisone Explanation: ...or, if you want to sound fancy :=), you could say "pre-transfusion medication regimen with hydrocortisone" The idea is to use anti‐inflammatory drugs (there are many kinds, steroids are just one option (HCN is a steroid, btw)) to try to prevent transfusion-related allergic reactions. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6486111/ |
