Question 19

D(u)

1. Definition

Answer 19

Weak form of the D antigen

Question 20

D(u)

1. Causes

Answer 20

• Heredity – less or altered D antigen on a cell
• Mosaic D
• Gene interaction - C in transposition to D (DCe/dCe)
• Genes independent of the Rh system can modify Rh expression

What can you interpret if D(u) is (+) and control is (+)?

Answer 23

Rh cannot be interpreted

Answer 25

1. High protein --> rouleaux 2. (+) DAT 3. Autoantibody 4. Anti-caprylate

Question 26

What causes a false (-) in Rh typing?

Answer 26

1. Rh hemolytic disease of a newborn
