Postpartum Rh immunoprophylaxis.
The postpartum dose of Rh immune globulin varies according to an individual laboratory estimation of fetal red blood cells in each mother's peripheral blood. In the United States, a four-step procedure determines the postpartum dose (number of vials of 300 micrograms; 1,500 international units) of Rh immune globulin (anti-D) for each RhD-negative mother who has delivered an RhD-positive newborn...
متن کاملRh immunization following incompatible blood transfusion and a possible long-term complication of anti-D immunoglobulin therapy.
Anti-D immunoglobulin is now widely used to prevent Rh-negative mothers from being sensitized by Rh-positive fetal erythrocytes. The administration of anti-D following the transfusion of large amounts of Rh-positive erythrocytes into Rh-negative individuals has been less uniformly successful in preventing primary immunization (Bowman and Chown, 1968), and occasional mild (Woodrow et al, 1968) o...
متن کاملImmunosuppressive therapy in Rh-incompatible transfusion.
Postpartum injections of 250 ,tg of anti-D gammaglobulin prevent Rh-immunization of Rh-negative women, with an im-munosuppression success rate of approximately 95% (Eklund and Nevanlinna, 1971). The average fetomaternal transfusion, however, is less than 1-5 ml in 98% of cases (Clarke et al., 1966), and so far there are few observations on trying to suppress primary Rh-immunization due to massi...

متن کاملHuman Rh D monoclonal antibodies (BRAD-3 and BRAD-5) cause accelerated clearance of Rh D+ red blood cells and suppression of Rh D immunization in Rh D- volunteers.
The use of prophylactic anti-D to prevent Rh D immunization in Rh D- women and subsequent hemolytic disease in Rh D+ infants is widespread, but has led to shortages of the anti-D Ig. With the aim of substituting monoclonal anti-D for Rh D prophylaxis, we have compared the abilities of monoclonal and polyclonal anti-D to clear Rh D+ red blood cells (RBCs) infused into Rh D- male volunteers and t...
