Other than transfusion, when is it necessary to take the Rh factor into consideration?(a) Cathertization(b) Spleen Rupture(c) Pregnancy(d) Blood DonationI got this question during an interview.My doubt stems from Blood Groups in chapter Pathology of Clinical Science

Answer»

Right option is (c) Pregnancy

The explanation: Erythroblastosis foetalis is a condition that may happen to a woman when she is pregnant. When a woman with RH- blood type CONCEIVES a BABY with RH+ blood type, the BODY perceives it as a threat and starts producing antibodies. This can CAUSE the baby to die in the womb and so RH factor must be monitored especially if the woman is RH-. CERTAIN medications and treatments can help reverse this condition.
