|
|
Hemolytic disease of the newborn occurs in Rh- fetuses and Rh+ mothers
|
|
|
Anti-D serum contains anti-Rh+ antibodies.
|
|
|
The Rh-group is inherited with a recessive character
|
|
|
The Rh + factor will be inherited dominantly
|
|
|
The administration of antiD serum prevents the Rh-mother from becoming sensitized during labor against Rh+ red blood cells from the fetus
|
Detailed explanation-1: -HDN happens when an Rh negative mother has a baby with an Rh positive father. If the Rh negative mother has been sensitized to Rh positive blood, her immune system will make antibodies to attack her baby. When the antibodies enter the baby’s blood, they will attack the red blood cells. This causes them to break down.
Detailed explanation-2: -Hemolytic disease of the newborn (HDN)-also called erythroblastosis fetalis-is a blood disorder that occurs when the blood types of a mother and baby are incompatible. HDN is relatively uncommon in the United States due to advances in early detection and treatment, limiting it to approximately 4, 000 cases a year.
Detailed explanation-3: -Hemolytic disease of the newborn (HDN) is a blood disorder in a fetus or newborn infant. In some infants, it can be fatal. Normally, red blood cells (RBCs) last for about 120 days in the body. In this disorder, RBCs in the blood are destroyed quickly and thus do not last as long.
Detailed explanation-4: -Hemolytic disease of the newborn (HDN) is a blood problem in newborn babies. It occurs when your baby’s red blood cells break down at a fast rate. It’s also called erythroblastosis fetalis. Hemolytic means breaking down of red blood cells.
