Pregnancy examination is very important for screening diseases in children, and the examination items during pregnancy are very complex, including irregular antibody screening, which mainly checks for neonatal hemolysis. Many people don't know if fasting is necessary for irregular antibody screening. Let's take a look together and see if fasting is necessary for irregular antibodies?
1. Generally speaking, this examination does not require pregnant women to maintain an empty stomach. For pregnant women, if they can undergo irregular antibody screening as soon as possible during pregnancy, it can reduce the incidence of hemolytic disease of the newborn, minimize unnecessary harm to the child, and also benefit the child's physical health. Once hemolytic disease of the newborn occurs, the child's organs and intelligence will be damaged.
2. There are many functions of irregular antibody screening, for example, for those who donate blood, if this screening is done, it can effectively avoid donating blood with irregular antibodies to others, thereby avoiding hemolytic reactions, which is also good for others.
3. For patients in need of blood, irregular antibody screening is also done to have enough time to screen for blood that is suitable for themselves. They can choose blood that does not contain irregular antibodies to ensure their health.
4. So which pregnant women need to undergo this examination? This examination is mainly required for pregnant women who have a history of blood transfusion treatment, have been pregnant, and may need to receive blood transfusions in a short period of time.
