Coming soonPrevention of Rh incompatibility reaction refers to immunoprophylaxis aimed at averting maternal alloimmunization, or isoimmunization, in Rh-negative individuals exposed to Rh-positive red blood cells.
This clinical scenario predominantly occurs during pregnancy or delivery when fetal erythrocytes carrying the Rh(D) antigen enter the maternal bloodstream, but it can also follow accidental transfusion of Rh-incompatible blood components.
Without intervention, the recipient’s immune system recognizes the foreign D antigen and produces anti-D antibodies, which can cross the placenta in subsequent pregnancies to induce immune-mediated hemolysis, severe fetal anemia, hydrops fetalis, and hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn.
Prophylactic management specifically targets unsensitized Rh-negative pregnant individuals, or non-immunized transfusion recipients, to block this humoral immune response before active antibody formation occurs.
