the agglutinins attach themselves to the RBCs . because agglutinins have many binding sites , a single agglutinin can attach to …….this cause the cell to ……

A

-different red cells at the same time

Q

agglutination occurs between ……of donor & ……of recipient’s

A

Ag (antigen)
Ab (antibodies)

16
Q

type ….of blood donor can give to A, B, & AB

A

O

17
Q

type …….plasma can be transfused to individual of any blood group, but type ……patient can only receive type AB plasma

A

AB
AB

18
Q

type …..plasma can receive from any group , but type ….plasma can be used only by type o recipient

A

O

19
Q

in Rh system …..is the most important antigenic component

A

D

20
Q

what’s the meaning of Rh +ve?

A

the individual has agglutinogen-D
85%-90% of population

21
Q

what’s the meaning of Rh -ve?

A

the individual has no D antigen and forms the anti D agglutinin when injected with D +ve cells

22
Q

list importance of blood group

A
  1. insure compatible blood transfusion
  2. used in pre marriage counseling to avoid Rh incompatibility
23
Q

the hemolytic disease of the new born is ……………

A

erythroblastosis fetalis

24
Q

what’s the cause of erythroblastosis fetalis ?

A

Rh incompatibility between mother and fetus blood . it occur when Rh negative mother carries a Rh positive fetus

25
Q

during the labor of the first baby , small amount of fetal blood pass into the …………………. leading to formation of ………………… in mother’s circulation during the postpartum period (mother become………)

A
  • maternal circulation
    -anti-Rh agglutinins
  • sensitized
26
Q

if the fetus blood is ………. , this results in agglutination and then hemolysis of fetus red cells

A

Rh-positive

27
Q

the first baby is usually ………..(illustrate)

A

-normal
- because sensitization of Rh negative mother carrying a Rh positive fetus generally occurs at birth

28
Q

if the hemolysis is sever, the infant may …………

A

die inside the mother uterus (intrauterine death)

29
Q

less severe form causes ……

A

-hemolysis of fetus RBCs causing anemia and inc bilirubin resulting in sever jaundice& edema of fetus (hydrops fetalis)

30
Q

if the bilirubin conc is very high it deposited in …..

A

basal ganglia causing brain damage (kernicterus)

31
Q

how to prevent the erythroblastosis fetalis ?

A

-to prevent sensitization of Rh negative mother, she’s given a single dose of anti-Rh antibodies (anti-D immunoglobulin) in the 1st 48 hrs after delivery starting from 1st delivery
- also be careful when giving blood transfusion to females (even very young girls) who may be Rh negative and are transfused with Rh positive blood

32
Q

ttt of erythroblastosis fetalis

A
  • exchange transfusion, so replacing the newborn’s blood with Rh-ve blood
