Red blood cells, leukocytes reduced, each unit
AI EXPLANATION: A unit of red blood cells is a standard quantity of donated blood that has been processed to isolate the red blood cells, which carry oxygen throughout the body. White blood cells, also called leukocytes, are filtered out to reduce the likelihood of an immune reaction or other complications during a transfusion. This blood component is commonly administered to patients who have severe blood loss from surgery or injury, or who experience low red blood cell levels due to medical conditions.
