Alloimmune Hemolytic Disease Of The Fetus / Newborn:
Definition:
A condition in which the Red Cells Of The Fetus Or Newborn Are Destroyed By Maternally Derived Alloantibodies
Antibodies Capable Of Causing Significant Hemolytic Transfusion Reactions:
IgG antibodies, Their Corresponding Antigens Are Not Well Developed At Birth E.g. Lu (b), Yt (a), And VEL —
Antibodies That Are Responsible For HDN :
Anti-c, Anti-d, Anti-e, And Anti-k (Kell)
Distribution of Rh negative Blood Group
Function of the Rh antigen:
Its Precise Function Is Unknown.
Rh Null Erythrocytes Have Increased Osmotic Fragility And Abnormal Shapes.
Genetic Expression (Rh Surface Protein Antigenicity):
Genetic Expression (Rh Surface Protein Antigenicity):
Du Variant
Frank D Positive
Maternal circulation of an Rh –ve mother
(Primary immune response)
The Rh +ve antigen will be cleared by macrophages; processed and transferred to plasma stem cell precursors (Develop an almost permanent immunologic memory)
With subsequent exposure the plasma cell line proliferate to produce humeral antibodies
(Secondary immune response).
The Secondary Response:
Is a Rapid response
IgG antibodies
a molecular weight of 160,000 that cross the placenta.

Primary Response

Natural History of Rh Isoimmunization And HD Fetus and Newborn
Less than 20% of Rh D incompatible pregnancies actually
lead to maternal alloimmunization
The Non-responders:
ABO Incompatibility:
Expression Of The Rh Antigen:
Classes Of IgG Family
Prophylaxis (Anti D Immunoglobulin) only for those who are negative for antibodies
The dose of Immunoglobulin depends the volume of Blood
Anti D Is given 72 hours after delivery, 28-32 weeks, and any other time when there is risk of Fetomaternal Bleeding
Dose of prophylactic Anti-D Ig:
MONOCLONAL ANTI-D
anti-D monoclonal antibody:
Although monoclonal anti-D is promising, it cannot be recommended at this time as a replacement for polyclonal RhIg.
The Enzymatic Method
The Antibody Titer In Saline, In Albumin
The Indirect Coombs Tests.
Methods of Detecting Anti D Antibodies in Maternal Serum:
Antibody Titre in Albumin: Reflects the presence of any anti-RhD IgM or IgG antibody in the maternal serum.
The Indirect Coombs Test:
First Step:
RhD-positive RBCs are incubated with maternal serum
Any anti-RhD antibody present will adhere to the RBCs.
Second Step:
The RBCs are then washed and suspended in serum containing antihuman globulin (Coombs serum).
Red cells coated with maternal anti-RhD will be agglutinated by the antihuman globulin (positive indirect Coombs test).
Diagnosis Maternal Isoimmunization
The Direct Coombs Test
Amniocentesis To Determine The Fetal Blood Type Using The Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR)
Detection Of Free Fetal RHD DNA (FDNA) Sequences In Maternal Plasma Or Serum Using PCR
Flow Cytometry Of Maternal Blood For Fetal Cells
Goals of managing Fetal Alloimmunization:
Ultrasonography
Amniocentesis
Fetal Blood Sampling
Past Obstetric History
Past Obstetric History:
Variation In Titer Results Between Laboratories And Intra Laboratory Is Common.
A Truly Stable Titer Should Not Vary By More Than One Dilution When Repeated In A Given Laboratory.
Ultrasonography:
Doppler Velocimetry Of The Fetal Middle Cerebral Artery (MCA)
To Predict The Timing Of A Second Intrauterine Fetal Transfusion.
For Predicting Fetal Anemia
A Critical Anti-D Titer:
I.E. A Titer Associated With A Significant Risk For Fetal Hydrops. Anti-D Titer Value Between 8 And 32
Invasive Techniques
( Amniocentesis and Fetal Blood Sampling):
Indications:
Determination Of Amniotic Fluid Bilirubin:
By The Analysis Of The Change In Optical Density Of Amniotic Fluid At 450 nm On The Spectral Absorption Curve (delta OD450)
Procedures Are Undertaken At 10-15 Days Intervals Until Delivery Data Are Plotted On A Normative Curve Based Upon Gestational Age.
Complications:
Total Risk of Fetal Loss Rate 2.7% (Fetal death is 1.4% before 28 weeks and The perinatal death rate is 1.4% after 28 weeks).
Bleeding from the puncture site in 23% to 53% of cases.
Bradycardia in 3.1% to 12%.
Fetal-maternal hemorrhage: occur in 65.5% if the placenta is anterior and 16.6% if the placenta is posterior.
Infection and abruptio placentae are rare complications
