AFOG (African Federation of Obstetricians and Gynecologists) Comprehensive Guideline: Prevention and Management of Red Blood Cell Alloimmunization in Pregnancy

2025-12-16

Abstract excerpt

Red Blood Cell (RBC) alloimmunization transpires when an individual generates antibodies against foreign RBC antigens after exposure, usually via transfusion or pregnancy. In obstetrics, the most clinically relevant scenario occurs when a Rhesus D (RhD)-negative mother becomes sensitized to the RhD antigen found on fetal red blood cells inherited from a RhD-positive father. This sensitization may result in Hemolyt...
