Rh negative Sentence Examples

An Rh-negative mother who was exposed to her fetus's Rh-positive blood during a previous pregnancy or delivery or who has accidentally received an Rh-positive blood transfusion has antibodies against Rh-positive blood cells.

Rh disease, for example, has been controlled by the advent of anti-Rh globulin; its administration to Rh-negative mothers has reduced one risk factor for CP.

Rh disease in the newborn is rare in developed countries due to routine screening of maternal blood type and routine prevention of anti-Rh antibodies in Rh negative women after each birth of an Rh positive infant.

Complications may arise if an Rh-negative mother is carrying an Rh-positive child.

Rh incompatibility may develop when a woman with Rh-negative blood becomes pregnant by a man with Rh-positive blood and conceives a fetus with Rh-positive blood.

A person with at least one copy of the gene for the Rh factor has Rh-positive blood; if no copies are inherited, the person's blood type is Rh-negative.

Rh disease only occurs if a mother is Rh-negative and her baby is Rh-positive.

Only 15 to 16 percent of the Caucasian population is Rh-negative, compared to approximately 8 percent of the African-American population and significantly lower in Asian populations.

If the father is Rh-positive, an antibody screen is done to determine whether the Rh-negative woman is sensitized to the Rh antigen (developed isoimmunity).

If the Rh-negative woman is not isoimmunized, a repeat antibody determination is done around 28 weeks' gestation, and the expectant woman should receive an injection of an anti-Rh (D) gamma globulin called Rhogham.

Conversely, a woman sensitized by previous Rh-positive fetuses may have a high antibody titer during her pregnancy while the fetus is Rh-negative.

If an Rh-negative woman gives birth to an Rh-positive baby, she is given an injection of Rhogam within 72 hours of the birth.

Therefore, all mothers who have Rh-negative blood and no apparent sensitization (as indicated by antibody titer) should be treated with a standard 300g dose of Rh(D) immune globulin (Rhogam) at about 28 weeks of gestation.

A person with Rh factor is Rh positive (Rh+); a person without it is Rh negative (Rh-).

Exchange transfusions may be given for high-risk infants, especially those with blood group (ABO) or type (Rh positive infants born to Rh negative mothers) incompatibilities.

If you are Rh-negative and your partner is Rh-positive, you may need treatment to protect your baby from a blood problem.

While it may seem complicated, your doctor or midwife can explain to you all of the precautions and treatments that can go with an Rh negative mother and Rh positive father.
