top-up transfusion
I think it means giving a transfusion to correct a deficiency, e.g. in hemoglobin, immunoglobin, albumin etc. and thus "topping up" the critical parameter.
Danish link: "patienten var i marts og april 2000 indlagt til optransfundering pga. svær anæmi med Hb på henholdsvis 4,9 og 4,2 mmol/l."
English link: "For many people with cancer-related anaemia a 'top-up' transfusion will be the most convenient and effective way to correct it."
