rh isoimmunization - drcupid - ArchivalUser - 08-10-2007
hey guys can any body plz clear my doubt abt what abo incompetibility got to do with rh stuff.and also abt mothers sensitivity n antibody titre of less than n more than 1;6

ABO Incompatibility may actually be of benefit to mom, b/c if mom has antibodies already made against Fetal blood type they may neutralize fetal rh blood in mom circulation before moms immune ssytem is stimulated
if the titer is low, u can give RhoGam but if titer is high that giving rhogam would be pointless
The Only thing I would like to know is what happens to current fetus or future preganancy if RhoGam was given in a Mom who's immune system has already made a high titer of antibodies against rh Fetal Blood Cells.????
