Question
Answer
Hemolytic disease of the newborn is?   destruction of RBCs of the fetus & neonate by AB produced by the mother  
🗑
Th mother is stimulated to produce ABs by?   curent or previous pregnancies or by transfusion  
🗑
HDN is most commonly caused by   anti-D and other Rh blood group ABs  
🗑
During pregnancy there is fetomaternal hemorrhage   which are RBCs from fetus enter the mothers circulation, 0.1ml  
🗑
Mother forms antibodies against   paternal antigens  
🗑
IgG antibodies cross placenta   and bind to fetal RBCs  
🗑
D hemolytic disease   caused by anti-D alone or in combo with anit-C or anti-E  
🗑
Other hemolytic disease   caused by other Rh ABs or blood group ABS, anti-K, anti-c  
🗑
ABO hemolytic disease   usually caused by anti-A,B in O women  
🗑
FHM occurs in # of pregnancy   75%, usually immediately after delivery  
🗑
Other causes of FHM   amniocentesis, abortion, chorionic villus sampling, cordocentesis,etopic preg, blunt trauma to abdomen  
🗑
Since advent of Rh immune globulin   < 1% of D neg mothers exhibit immunization  
🗑
Incidence of 'D' HDN =   18% in untreated D neg mothers of D pos infants  
🗑
Prevalance of non-anti-D HDN =   <0.3%  
🗑
Transfusion of D pos red cell products   to women of child bearing age should be avoided  
🗑
IF D pos transfusion necessary   then Rh IG prophylacic treatment  
🗑
Hemolysis & Erythropoiesis   Maternal IgG AB attaches on fetal RBCs; AB/AG complex removed by macrophages in spleen; fetal bone marrow & hempietic tissue in liver & spleen increase RBC production  
🗑
Anemia   moderate to severe depending on #RBCs destroyed; severe anemia may lead to hydrops fetalis from enlarged liver and spleen;  
🗑
Anemia cont   RBC destruction continues after birth as long as maternal AB in system  
🗑
Hydrops fetalis   severe edema, effusions, ascites  
🗑
Bilirubnemia   RBC lysis casuse release of HgB which is metabolized into indirect bikirubin; then may be transported across placenta & conjugated in maternal liver to direct bilirubin & then excreted  
🗑
Bilirubnemia cont   total bili elevated in fetal serum & amniotic fluid, but not harmful; after birth, accumulation of indirect bili to toxic levels & can cause brain damage  
🗑
