Rh Factor question

Such as?

ANY studies. My thought process is leaning toward a possible connection with adult Rh babies and autoimmune diseases.

Meaning, as in Rh-neg babies born to Rh-positive mothers?

With or without Rhogam?

  • Author

Yes, I didn't think most Rh negative babies survived without the mother having been given Rhogam, so I guess with Rhogam.

Rh negative babies are not a problem. Problems arise when a Rh positive baby is born to a sensitized Rh negative mother. Her antibodies (to the Rh factor) then attack the red blood cells of the fetus, leading to such conditions as erythroblastosis fetalis, pathologic hyperbilirubinemia, etc.

But, as to your question about whether there are studies of adults (Rh+, born to sensitized moms).......I don't know.

Thanks, iteachob. I had a brain fart, and at one point came back to correct myself and got distracted. :)
