Welcome at HCM I have gone through your query and being your physcian i completely understand your health concerns. what is ur age and sex? why u have done blood transfusion? Any other associated problem? like diabetes or hypertension? Rise in BP do occur after blood transfusion due to rise in intravascular volume, thats why after blood transfusion it is always wise to give patient INJ LASIX to prevent the volume overload. In my opinion u need to be examined fully by a physician since merely upon the basis of ur history it is very difficult to comment. it is very imp to look at your kidneys status as well as other comorbidities. do meet your doctor so that apprpriate management can be initiated in time. meanwhile stay calm get well soon Hope your query is adequately addressed if you still have any feel free to ask Regards Dr Saad Sultan
