background one of the most important cause of severe neonatal hyperbilirubinemia is hemolysis including rh incompatibility.  the aim of this study was to assess the rate of hyperbilirubinemia due to hemolysis in rh positive neonates  born to rh negative mothers. methods in this retrospective study from march 1998 to february 2003, 60 icteric rh positive newborns that were born to rh negative mo...

Rh incompatibility [4] occurs when a pregnant woman whose blood type is Rh-negative is exposed to Rh-positive blood from her fetus [5], leading to the mother?s development of Rh antibodies. These antibodies have the potential to cross the placenta [6] and attach to fetal red blood cells, resulting in hemolysis, or destruction of the fetus?s red blood cells. This causes the fetus [5] to become a...

Background and Aim: One of the main goals of blood transfusion medicine is to determine the compatibility of the blood products with the patients. Therefore, clinical and laboratory (serologic) evaluations should be done to determine the maximum compatibility (or minimum incompatibility). The most known blood groups is the ABO antigenic system and the most important of them is Rh system. Among ...

The incidence of maternal Rh immunization in Rh-negative women following a single ABO compatible Rh-positive pregnancy is about 17%. This incidence was determined by following Rh-negative women through two Rh-incompatible pregnancies and analysing their sera for anti-Rh at the time of delivery of their second observed pregnancy. Maternal Rh immunization occurs almost exclusively after delivery;...
