The difference between irregular antibodies and anti-D antibodies

  As is well known, everyone has various antibodies in their body to resist the invasion of diseases. Some mothers and fetuses with incompatible blood types may develop homologous immunity, and if normal red blood cells are damaged, it is easy to cause hemolysis. Once hemolysis occurs, the child is at risk. What are the differences between irregular antibodies and anti-D antibodies?

  

The difference between irregular antibodies and anti-D antibodies1

  Anti-D immunoglobulin is designed to be used in fetuses with RH hemolytic disease. The anti-D antibodies in the fetal red blood cells enter the mother's bloodstream and then undergo an immune reaction with the mother. Irregular antibodies can cause hemolytic diseases, and if irregular experimental tests show negative results, it indicates that the child is not at risk.

  Irregular antibodies enter the body, and in mild cases, patients may experience fever and headache. In severe cases, red blood cells are destroyed, and the patient's lifespan is shortened, which also poses a threat to the patient's life. For sick children, it can affect the intelligence of the fetus and even threaten the life of the fetus. So doing antibody screening is a particularly important thing.

  There are many types of antibodies, some are accidental antibodies, some are hemolysis between couples, and some are hemolysis between mother and baby. If pregnant women experience any physical discomfort during pregnancy, they should go to the hospital for examination as soon as possible. To prevent the delay of the illness from causing health problems.
