What else can I help you with?
Why would there be cause of concern if a pregnant mother is Rh- and her husband is Rh and this is their second child?
If the second child is Rh+ and the mother did not take RhoGAM, there is a chance that the child will develop erythroblastosis fetalis and die before birth.
Which class of immunoglobulin is responsible for the development of erythroblastosis fetalis?
IgG is the class of immunoglobulin responsible for the development of erythroblastosis fetalis. It can cross the placenta from a mother who is Rh-negative to a fetus who is Rh-positive, leading to hemolytic disease in the newborn.
Erythroblastosis fetalis can be prevented by treating?
Erythroblastosis fetalis can be prevented by treating Rh incompatibility between the mother and fetus. This involves giving the mother Rh immunoglobulin (RhIg) during pregnancy and after delivery to prevent her immune system from producing antibodies against the baby's red blood cells.
Why does the first born child not have erythroblastosis fetalis?
The first child born of a female is generally not at risk for erythroblastosis fetalis because the mother's immune system has not been exposed to the fetal blood antigens and therefore has not produced antibodies against it. However, by the second pregnancy there is a slight risk if the blood type of the fetus is not compatible with the mother's blood type.
What is the result if the father is type a negative and the mother is type o?
Well there is an ABO and Rh incompatibility, then baby is at risk of jaundice or erythroblastosis fetalis.
What is hymolytic disease?
Hemolytic disease of the newborn is also known as erythroblastosis fetalis. It is a condition that develops in a fetus when the mother and fetus have incompatible blood types.
Who is the most harmed when erythroblastosis fetalis occurs?
Erythroblastosis fetalis is a potentially life threatening blood disorder in fetus or new born infant. It happens when the mother possesses Rh negative blood where the foetus posses Rh positive blood which turns it weak anaemic nd jaundiced or in severe case death of the foetus occurs..
Who is the most harmful party when erythroblastosis fetalis occurs?
Erythroblastosis fetalis is a potentially life threatening blood disorder in fetus or new born infant. It happens when the mother possesses Rh negative blood where the foetus posses Rh positive blood which turns it weak anaemic nd jaundiced or in severe case death of the foetus occurs..
How may erythroblastosis fetalis be prevented?
by giving an Rh negative mother a gamma globulin solution called RhoGAM whenever there is a possibility that she is developing antibodies to her baby's blood.
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 are the sequence of events that happen to cause erythroblastosis fetalis?
Erythroblastosis fetalis occurs when an Rh-negative mother is sensitized to the Rh antigen from an Rh-positive fetus during pregnancy or delivery, leading to the mother's immune system producing antibodies against the Rh antigen. In subsequent pregnancies with Rh-positive fetuses, these antibodies can cross the placenta and attack the fetal red blood cells, leading to hemolysis and potentially severe complications for the fetus.
What is erythroblasto foetalis?
Erythroblastosis fetalis is severe anaemia with excess red blood-forming cells in new born babies. Possibly due to incompatibility between baby's and mother's blood.
