The purpose of this review is to summarize the role of complement in regulating the removal of a target alloantigen following an incompatible red blood cell (RBC) transfusion, the formation of alloantibodies following RBC alloantigen exposure, and the development of hyperhemolysis in patients with sickle cell anemia. Recent studies demonstrate that complement can accelerate alloantibody-mediated removal of target alloantigens from the RBC surface following incompatible transfusion. Complement also influences alloantigen availability during developing alloimmune responses and serves as a unique mediator of CD4 T cell-independent alloantibody formation following RBC alloantigen exposure. Finally, alternative complement activation appears to play a key role in the development of acute hemolytic episodes in patients with sickle cell anemia, providing a potential druggable target to prevent acute complications in patients with this disease Recent studies suggest that complement can regulate a wide variety of processes germane to hematology, from transfusion complications to baseline hemolysis in patients with sickle cell anemia. As the role of complement in various disease processes becomes more fully understood, the ability to leverage recently developed complement modulating drugs will only continue to enhance provider’s ability to favorable intervene on many hematological diseases.
