Maternal care for rhesus isoimmunization - what does this mean
Maternal care for rhesus isoimmunization occurs when a pregnant woman has rh-negative blood and the fetus has rh-positive blood. in this situation, the mother's body produces antibodies against the rh-positive blood, which can cross the placenta and cause the fetus to develop anemia, jaundice, and other health problems. this can be prevented by giving the mother an injection of rh immunoglobulin during pregnancy.
What happens during the disease - maternal care for rhesus isoimmunization
Maternal care for rhesus isoimmunization occurs when a pregnant woman has a rhesus-negative blood type and her fetus has a rhesus-positive blood type. this causes the woman's body to create antibodies against the rhesus-positive blood cells, which can cross the placenta and destroy the fetus's red blood cells, leading to anemia and other complications. to prevent this, the woman must receive treatment to reduce the production of antibodies and ensure that the fetus is not affected.
