Explain Rh factor incompatibility during pregnancy. |
|
Answer» The human beings who have antigen on RBCs are Rh+ while others who do not have are Rh. It is through Rh+ is dominated over Rh- which is recessive. In a marriage between Rh– woman and Rh+ man, when a woman become pregnant, she becomes sensitive while carrying a first Rh+ child within her womb. It is because some of RBCs from the developing embryo get into the blood stream of mother during development causing her to produce anti-Rh-antibodies. The first child of such parents is normal and is delivered safely. However, if such a mother get pregnant again the resulting Rh+ foetuses will be exposed to anti-Rh-bodies produced by the mother. As a result serious damage to RBCs of the developing embryo will occur causing erythroblastosis foetilis. The disease leads to the death of the developing embryo before birth or after parturition. |
