What Does TAH Stand For?
TAH stands for Transfusion Associated Hepatitis
TAH, or Transfusion Associated Hepatitis, refers to liver inflammation caused by the transmission of viral hepatitis through blood transfusions. This condition primarily arises from exposure to hepatitis B or C viruses present in donor blood, leading to potential complications such as acute liver injury and chronic liver disease. The risk of TAH has been significantly reduced due to improved screening and testing procedures for blood donations. Early detection and management are essential to mitigate the impacts of the disease on patients' health.
