Hypotensive reactions to white cell‐reduced plasma in a patient undergoing angiotensin‐converting enzyme inhibitor therapy

Abstract

Facial flushing, hypotension, and abdominal pain after FFP administration in a patient on ACE inhibitor medication appeared to be associated with a specific type of WBC-reduction filter. This association and other reported studies suggest that special caution is warranted when patients who are treated with ACE inhibitors receive blood components administered through WBC-reduction filters capable of generating bradykinin.
