If RH positive female gets pregnant with RH negative male then?

The risk of Rh incompatibility arises when the mother is Rh-negative and the fetus is Rh-positive. In this case, the first pregnancy is usually not at high risk, but subsequent pregnancies can be affected if the mother has been sensitized to the Rh antigen. To prevent complications, the mother may receive Rh immunoglobulin to prevent sensitization.


Is it true if you are rh- blood type you can only have one baby?

No, that's not true. If you are a Rh- mother then your immune system will become sensitized by an Rh + baby and if you were to have a second Rh+ baby without taking medication to control this then that baby would have a condition called fetal erythroblastosis.


Why rh positive baby born to an rh negative mother is unaffected?

Because the mother's blood antibodies did not affect the child. However, if the mother is not treated with Rhogam after delivery the mother has a increased chance of creating antibodies that WILL affect her next baby in utero due to the rh incompatibility creating antibodies that could attack the fetus in utero. Make sure you receive RHOGAM! Hope this helps!


Can a child born with rh negative blood type be the offspring of an o positive father?

It depends on the genotype of the Rh+ parent. If that person is heterozygous, then yes there is a 50% chance of an Rh- baby.Father's Group (negative)Mother's Group (positive heterozygous)Rh +Rh -Rh -Rh +, Rh -Rh -, Rh -Rh -Rh +, Rh -Rh - Rh -http://www.bloodbook.com/inherited.htmlIf the positive parent is homozygous, the baby will be positive:Father's Group (negative)Mother's Group (positive homozygous)Rh +Rh +Rh -Rh +, Rh -Rh +, Rh -Rh -Rh +, Rh -Rh + Rh -


What kind of feedback loops are sensitization and desensitization?

Negative

What is the code for Rh imcompatibility?

There is no code for maternal Rh negative status; only an ICD9 code for previous sensitization.


The immune serum used to prevent maternal sensitization to Rh antigens is?

RhoGAM


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.


What Rh factor combinations could cause agglutination of an infant's red blood cells?

A baby's Rh type is inherited from the parents. A pregnant woman is at risk of problems with Rh sensitization if she is Rh-negative and the father of her baby is Rh-positive. http://pregnancy.lovetoknow.com/wiki/Rh_Factor


Can Rh antibodies of Rh- be detected?

A person who is Rh negative may have antibodies if he or she has been exposed in the past to Rh positive blood. Rhogam will prevent this sensitization in a pregnant woman with negative blood carrying an Rh positive baby.

Can A negative blood type receive positive blood type?

An Rh negative recipient may receive Rh positive cellular blood products IF the recipient does not have preexisting Anti-D antibodies present in their plasma, is not a female of child bearing age/capable of becoming pregnant and/or there is an emergent need for blood components (trauma, etc.) and Rh negative products are not available. If Rh positive products are administered to an Rh negative recipient, Rh positive components may continue to be administered until anti-D antibodies are detected on pre-transfusion screening tests. If Rh positive platelets are administered to an Rh negative recipient, Rh Immune Globulin (e.g., RHoGam) may be administered to prevent sensitization in the recipient.

What happens when a vanishing twin with positive blood type is absorbed by a mother with negative blood?

A pregnancy that ends so early so as to be described as "vanishing twin syndrome" does not present a risk of Rh sensitization. This is why in many parts of the developed world, Anti-Rho(d) type products aren't given for early pregnancy losses or early terminations in Rh negative women.
