pathological jaundice occurs when
within first 24 hours of birth
Rh incompatibility
if you have a Rh - mom with a Rh baby (1st pregnancy) with birth Rh + blood from placenta enters maternal blood stream, mom produces Rh+ antibodies, if 2nd pregnancy baby is Rh - than no affect on fetus, if 2nd pregnancy baby is Rh + then Rh + antibodies from mom attack fetal blood = erythroblastosis fetalis (fetal death)
if abortion occurs is mother given Rhogam?
yes because unknown status of fetus
why is Rhogam given
prevents body from creating antibodies so cant attack fetus, has to be given within 72 hours
ABO incompatibility
occurs if there the antigens of fetus differ from mother, antibodies cross placenta and attack fetal RBC’s causing hemolysis
*not as severe as Rh incompatibility (not fatal)
jaundice that occurs after 24 hours of age, due to high bilirubin production bc of increase in # of RBC, shorter RBC living rime, bilirubin levels build up bc reabsorbed
