Is the phenotype which determine RH?

The phenotype that determines the Rh factor in blood is based on the presence or absence of the specific protein antigens on the surface of red blood cells. A person can be either Rh positive (having the protein) or Rh negative (lacking the protein) based on their genetic inheritance.


Do only women have to be concerned with the Rh factor?

No, both men and women should be concerned with the Rh factor. The Rh factor is a protein found on red blood cells, and it can cause complications during pregnancy if a woman is Rh-negative and her partner is Rh-positive. It is important for both partners to be aware of their Rh status to prevent such complications.


Could type O mother and an A blood type father have an RH child?

Can Rh negative patient receive Rh positive plasma?

A Rh negative patient cannot receive Rh positive blood as it will cause a antibody reaction to the donor plasma, but a Rh positive patient can receive Rh negative blood as the donor blood lacks the Rh antibody component. PS the Rh factor is present on Red blood cells and not in Plasma

Will there be complications having babies in my married life if my n my husband's blood group is the same?

It really isn't an issue in the modern medical field. Rh factor is when a woman is at risk when she has a negative Rh factor and her partner has a positive Rh factor. This combination can produce a child who is Rh positive. While the mother's and baby's blood systems are separate there are times when the blood from the baby can enter into the mother's system. This can cause the mother to create antibodies against the Rh factor, thus treating an Rh positive baby like an intruder in her body. This easily treated by an injection before birth.

How does the Rh factor differ from A B and O antigens?

The Rh factor refers to the presence or absence of a specific protein on the surface of red blood cells, while A, B, and O antigens refer to different types of carbohydrates found on the cell membrane.
