Currently five DEA types have been recognized internationally in dogs: DEA 1, 3, 4, 5, and 7. According to the research, the prevalence of DEA 1 in the canine population is about 60%, thus determination of blood type DEA 1 is very important in veterinary practice for dogs.
Before transfusion, blood typing is done to determine the animal’s blood group. Dogs are routinely typed for DEA 1.1. In addition to DEA 1.1, at least 12 other blood group systems are present. Although the risk is less, any antigen might cause a reaction if those cells are given to a previously sensitized dog. A major crossmatch test helps detect antibodies in the recipient’s plasma that could destroy donated red blood cells.
The most serious risk of transfusion is acute destruction of red blood cells, usually caused by a previously formed antibody to DEA 1.1 or another antigen. This can lead to severe complications.
