Background and Aim: One of the main goals of blood transfusion medicine is to determine the compatibility of the blood products with the patients. Therefore, clinical and laboratory (serologic) evaluations should be done to determine the maximum compatibility (or minimum incompatibility). The most known blood groups is the ABO antigenic system and the most important of them is Rh system. Among ...

BACKGROUND Neonatal jaundice that occurs in ABO or Rhesus issoimunisation has been recognized as one of the major risk factors for development of severe hyperbilirubinemia and bilirubin neurotoxicity. AIM Aim of our study was to investigate clinical and laboratory parameters associated with hemolytic jaundice due to Rh and ABO incompatibility and compare results with the group of unspecific j...

It is by now well established that the frequencies of ABO mating types among parents of children with Rh haemolytic disease of the newborn are not the same as in the general population. There is a reduced frequency of matings in which the mother has antibodies to ABO-antigens possessed by her husband. It is possible that incompatible foetal blood escaping into the mother's circulation is so rap...

Among the conditions capable of causing hemolytic disease of newborn, blood group incompatibility is the most common cause of which most severe forms are encountered in Rh incompatibility. However with availability of effective antenatal care in detecting Rh negative mothers and successful administration of Rh immunoglobulin ABO incompatibility has emerged the most common cause of haemolytic di...

ABO hemolytic disease of the newborn poses certain prognostic problems because maternal antibody titer is poorly related to severity of the ensuing hemolytic process. Heterogeneity of anti-A antibodies, as recently discussed by Polley e t al. [lo], may be one of the factors responsible for this poor association, Another factor may be the quantitative behavior of the A antigen. Infants with ABO ...

Background: ABO incompatibility is the most common cause of immune hemolytic disease of the newborn (HDN) and in most cases is not dangerous. The present study aimed to determine the prevalence of ABO-HDN and its effects on neonatal blood parameters in a population of patients referred to some training hospitals in Iran. Materials and methods: In This cross-sectional study, All newborns (a tot...

A case report of discolored anterior primary teeth is presented. Medical history and clinical findings suggest an etiology of hemolytic anemia and jaundice secondary to ABO blood group incompatibility. There are no previous reports of tooth discoloration resulting from ABO blood group incompatibility.

The independent genomic inheritance of the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) and the ABO-blood group system allows for HLA-matched hematopoietic progenitor cell transplantation (HCT) to occur in donors who are not matched for ABO blood groups. In fact, nearly one-half of all HCT will involve recipient-donor ABO incompatibility. This places the recipient at increased risk for acute and delayed hemol...
