Blood groups - Rhesus factor
|
| Publisher: |
Better Health Channel
|
| Description: |
The Rhesus factor is a protein that is either present or absent on the surface of a person's red blood cells. 'Rhesus disease' can occur if there is Rhesus incompatibility between a mother and her unborn child. Another name for this condition is hemolytic disease of the newborn (HDN). Rhesus disease is now uncommon in developed countries, due to routine 'anti-D' vaccination of the mother after the birth of her first child.

| Description: |

Wanted: Rh negative donors with anti-D antibodies
|
| Publisher: |
Australian Prescriber
|
| Description: |
Rhesus (Rh) D immunoglobulin is given to Rh negative women who have certain antenatal indications or give birth to an Rh positive baby. This prevents the development of maternal antibodies which could cause haemolytic disease of the newborn in future pregnancies.
The Australian Red Cross Blood Service (ARCBS) collects high titre anti-D plasma from donors to produce Rh D immunoglobulin. The supply is insufficient to meet all the indications and revised guidelines restricting the use of Rh D immunoglobulin have recently been released.
