What is
Rh/ABO 01
Incompatibility?
Rh/ABO Incompatibility
Rh/ABO incompatibility refers to a
condition in which there is a mismatch
between the Rh factor (positive or
negative) and/or ABO blood type (A, B,
AB, or O) of a mother and her baby. This
incompatibility can lead to various
complications during pregnancy and
childbirth, including hemolytic disease of
the newborn (HDN), if not adequately
managed.
