Rh Blood Group Flashcards
(112 cards)
Most complex of all rbc blood group system
Rh
Is the most important rbc antigen in transfusion reaction
D antigen after A and B
Who lack d ag do not have
Anti D
Antibody produced through expiosure to D Ag through what
Oregnancy or transfusion
This is greater than that of all otehr rbc Ag studied
Immunogenicity D
Is routinely performed so D neg will be transfused with D
Testing for D
That delivery of stull born and adverse reaction in mom to blood transfusion from father were related discovered by
Levine and stetson 1989
Syndome in fetus is called
Hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn
Syndrome had complicated oregnanciea for decades causing severe jaundice and death
Erthroblastosis fetalis
Suggestied that Ag are determined by
3 pairs of genes which occupy closely linked loci
Eqch gene causes priduction of antige exceot
d
Three loci carry the rh gene are so closely linked that they never separate but are passed from generation to generation ws a unit or gene complex
Fisher race
Nan offspring of Dce/dce individual will inherit either dce or Dce from the parent never
dCe
The gene complex DCe woukd cause priduction of
D C and e ag
If one chromosome carried DCe and other was DcE would cause
D,C,c,E,e ag
Each ag is recognizable by testing red cell with specific ag except
d
Each gene produces a structure on the red cell called
Agglutinogen or Ag
What are the 8 major allelespostulated that twi genes one or each chromosomes pair controls the entire express of Rh system
Wiener
The two theories are the basis for the twi notation currently used for the rh system
Wiener and fisher race
Convert Dce fisher race into wiener
R0
Most common D positive genotype
R1r
Most common D genotype
rr
Refer to genes
Superscript Rh upper 1
Refers to agglutinogen
Subscript Rh below 1
