It seems your question was cut off. However, if you're asking about RH factors, they refer to a specific protein found on the surface of red blood cells. People who have the protein are classified as RH positive, while those who do not are RH negative. This factor is particularly important in pregnancy and blood transfusions, as incompatibility can lead to serious health issues. If you have a more specific question regarding RH factors, feel free to clarify!
What else can I help you with?
What are 2 Rh factors?
When referring to blood, you call it positive or negative. These are the two Rh factors.
Is there a difference between Rh neg blood group and a B neg blood group?
RH- and RH+ are not blood types, they are factors.
What are the 2 Rh factors?
R and H
Can delivery complications with the RH factor be prevented?
Delivery complications with rH factors can be prevented fairly easily. If the mother is rH negative than she will receive a rhogam shot during pregnancy and shortly after the birth. This prevents her body from rejecting the blood of the infant in the situation where they have opposing rH factors.
What do you call the factors when a set of red blood cell surface antigens cause serious interactions between a mother and her developing fetus?
The factors are called Rh incompatibility or hemolytic disease of the newborn. This occurs when a mother is Rh-negative and her fetus is Rh-positive, leading to the mother's immune system attacking the fetus's red blood cells.
Is there any problems of having kids when couples have same Rh factor?
If both parents have the same Rh factor (positive or negative), there is no risk of Rh incompatibility that could affect future pregnancies. Rh factor only becomes a concern when the mother is Rh-negative and the father is Rh-positive, which can lead to Rh incompatibility in the fetus.
Can boy and girl with b positive blood group but different RH factor marry?
Yes, a boy and a girl with B positive blood group but different Rh factors can marry. The Rh factor of a person's blood does not prevent them from marrying someone with a different Rh factor. It only becomes relevant if they plan to have children together, as Rh incompatibility can cause issues during pregnancy.
Who are more prone to HIV Rh negative or Rh positive?
There is no direct correlation between being Rh positive or Rh negative and susceptibility to HIV. HIV can infect individuals of any blood type, regardless of their Rh status. The main factors determining HIV risk include engaging in high-risk behaviors such as unprotected sex or sharing needles.
What is the difference between blood type O and O positive?
Blood Type O has no Anti Rh factors. O+ blood is positive for Rh Antibodies.
Is A negative blood the same as A Rhesus Negative?
No, A negative blood refers to the absence of the A antigen on red blood cells, while Rhesus negative (Rh-) refers to the absence of the Rh antigen. A person can be A negative and Rh positive or A negative and Rh negative.
Can rh factor mothers have children?
Yes. The only time the RH factor comes into play is when the parents are opposite factors (- & +). In that case, the mother gets a shot early during the pregnancy and another later on to counter the RH factor effects.
What blood factors make a b negative?
RH factor in blood types stands for "Rhesus Factor". Blood tests were performed on Rhesus monkeys and the Rh+ and Rh- factors were isolated. An antigen found in the red blood cells of most people: those who have Rh factor are said to be Rh positive (Rh+), while those who do not are Rh negative (Rh-). What about the meaning of RHD- Rh blood group, D antigen . The rhesus complex is not just one antigen, but several, when someone is told to be Rh+, it usually refers to the D antigen (one of the components of the Rh complex), because it's the most common, and the easiest to identify, however it's not the only one.
