Hi doctor, My wife is a factor XIII deficiency patient and every month she takes seven packets of cryoprecipitate. I am a bit worried about the side effects of this transfusion. I just read some articles on the internet, which shares the information about the side effects of transfusion. From that I came to know that the patient may get some infections like hepatitis B, C, malaria or HIV. Do these infections spread through cryoprecipitate product? I know the blood has undergone several tests and then cryo has been extracted from it. I am newly married and your response will help me to decide whether to continue my marriage life or not. If she gets infected in the future, then there are chances of spreading to me as well. So, please help.
