What is the difference between rh incompatibility and abo incompatibility if any?

Rh incompatibility occurs when the mother is Rh-negative and the fetus is Rh-positive, leading to the mother's immune response attacking the fetus' red blood cells. ABO incompatibility, on the other hand, happens when the mother has antibodies against the A or B antigens present on the baby's blood cells, leading to hemolysis. Both conditions can result in jaundice and anemia in newborns, but they involve different blood antigens.


Is it true Rh incompatibility between a sensitized Rh woman and an Rh- fetus can cause hemolytic disease of the newborn?

What do NISHOT include?

NISHOT statistics include mistransfusion and ABO/Rh-incompatibility.


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.


Rh positive mother a positive baby?

If a person has the Rh factor, then they are positive. If they don't have the Rh factor, they are negative. The Rh factor is dominant, so a mother with it would have an Rh positive baby even if the father is negative for the Rh factor.


What is the serum used to prevent sensitization to rh antigens?

The serum used to prevent sensitization to Rh antigens is called Rh immune globulin (RhIG) or RhoGAM. It is typically given to Rh-negative mothers during pregnancy or after giving birth to prevent their immune system from developing antibodies against Rh-positive red blood cells in case of Rh incompatibility between the mother and baby.


Can a husband a plus and a wife A- have a baby safely?

Yes. They give you an injection to counteract the rh factor incompatibility.


How can ABO-incompatibility protect the baby against RH-incompatibility?

if O- mother consives A+ OR B- baby any foetal A or B TYPE RBC ENTERING THE MOTHERS blood cells are quickly distroyed by her anti-A or anti-B antibodies before she can form -Rh antibodies


The condition in which rh plus red blood cells of a fetus are attacked by anti-Rh antibodies of the fetus Rh-mother is called?

Heamolytic disease of the newborn or Erythroblastosis Fetalis


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.


Can a mom with Rh positive blood have an Rh positive baby?

The most severe form of erythroblastosis fetalis is that resulting from Rh incompatibility. But you can have erythroblastosis fetalis with ABO incompatibility as well. And this can occur with any child, even the first, and even with an Rh-negative child. However, if you're referring to Rh-incompatibility erythroblastosis fetalis, the answer to your question is, "Not usually" (assuming she hasn't had a previous Rh-positive child). In Rh-incompatibility, erythroblastosis fetalis occurs with the woman's second Rh-positive child. The first Rh-positive child's blood gets into the mother's bloodstream (e.g. at childbirth). The mother's blood makes antibodies to Rh. Since the first child is already born, this does not affect the first child. Then, when she has a second Rh-positive child, her antibodies cross the placenta and attack that child's blood cells. On the other hand, if the mother is exposed to the Rh factor of the first child's blood earlier in the pregnancy somehow, then I suppose she could develop enough antibodies to cause a problem for that first child.


What are the potential pregnancy complications associated with different blood types?

Pregnancy complications related to blood types include Rh incompatibility, where the mother is Rh-negative and the baby is Rh-positive, leading to potential issues like hemolytic disease of the newborn. ABO incompatibility can also cause problems, such as jaundice in the baby. These complications can be managed with proper medical care during pregnancy.
