Rh incompatibility reaction - what does this mean
Rh incompatibility reaction occurs when a mother with rh-negative blood has a baby with rh-positive blood. when the mother's blood comes into contact with her baby's rh-positive blood, her body produces antibodies against the rh-positive blood, leading to a reaction that can cause health problems for the baby.
What happens during the disease - rh incompatibility reaction
Rh incompatibility reaction is a condition that occurs when the mother is rh-negative and the baby is rh-positive. this causes the mother's immune system to produce antibodies that target the baby's red blood cells, leading to anemia, jaundice, and organ damage in the baby. the mother's antibodies cross the placenta and attack the baby's red blood cells, causing them to break down and leading to anemia. the baby's liver is unable to process the broken down red blood cells, leading to jaundice. in severe cases, the organ damage can be severe enough to cause death.

How does a doctor diagnose
- Obtain a complete medical history of the patient.
- Perform a physical examination of the patient.
- Order a complete blood count (CBC).
- Order a direct antiglobulin test (DAT).
- Order a maternal serum screening test.

Treatment and Medical Assistance
Main goal of the treatment: To prevent Rh incompatibility reaction
- Administer Rh immunoglobulin to the mother
- Monitor the baby's hemoglobin levels
- Perform blood transfusions as needed
- Provide supportive care, including oxygen therapy
- Monitor the baby's bilirubin levels
- Administer phototherapy as needed
- Perform an exchange transfusion as needed
12 Days of Hospitalization Required
Average Time for Outpatient Care Not Established
Rh incompatibility reaction - Prevention
Rh incompatibility reaction can be prevented through rh immunoglobulin injections given to rh-negative mothers during pregnancy. this injection helps to prevent the mother's body from producing antibodies that can harm the fetus. additionally, rh-negative women should be tested during pregnancy to determine if they are at risk of developing rh incompatibility. if the test is positive, the mother should receive rh immunoglobulin injections as a preventative measure.
