Abstract
Hemolytic disease in fetuses and newborns (HDFN) is a common perinatal condition caused by the destruction of erythrocytes of neonates or fetuses by maternal IgG antibodies. Fetal or neonatal hemolysis is HDFN's primary pathological process resulting in anemia and neonatal jaundice. This review summarized recent progress in the pathophysiology of HDFN, the clinical correlation between anti-erythrocyte alloantibodies and HDFN, laboratory tests for alloimmunization in pregnancy, clinical evaluation of high-risk cases of HDFN, and treatment and prevention of HDFN at home and abroad.
Key words:
Erythroblastosis, fetal; Rh Isoimmunization; Immunoglobulin G; Isoantibodies
