REPORT DESCRIPTION
Blood Irradiation Market – Overview
Blood irradiation is a therapy in which blood components are irradiated prior to transfusion, to prevent
proliferation of certain types of T lymphocytes. These T lymphocytes inhibit the immune responses and
can cause a rare graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) with serious complication due to blood transfusion
caused by white blood cells. A small number of white blood cells can recognize the different blood in the
body which may cause serious illness or death.
Irradiated blood is treated with UV, X-rays or other forms of radioactive methods. Blood irradiation treated
with UV rays is beneficial to cancer patients as it strengthens the immune system and improves overall
health.
Ultraviolet rays restrain viral, bacterial, and fungal growth and improves the body’s ability to detoxify and
inactive toxins, which can further assist in the other cancer treatments. Based on this technique, three types
of blood irradiation are available in the market i.e. intravenous laser blood irradiation, transcutaneous laser
blood irradiation, and extracorporeal blood irradiation.
