Chapter 18, Problem 2SA
Summary Introduction
To answer:
Why the hemolytic disease is not susceptible to a newborn with Rh- born to a Rh+ve mother.
Introduction:
Each person has different blood types when compared with others. Blood grouping is based on the ABO test and Rh test. People carry any one type of antigen in their red blood cells. The people with A antigens are grouped under A and people with B antigens are placed under B. The person with no antigen is placed under O group. Rh antigens are present in the red blood cells of the human. About 85% of humans have Rh+ve and 15% have Rh–ve antigens.
