Prevents sensitization
Intrauterine Transfusion (IUT)
• Given to the fetus to prevent hydrops fetalis and fetal death.
• Can be done as early as 17 weeks, although preferable to wait until 20
weeks
• Severely affected fetus, transfusions done every 1 to 4 weeks until the
fetus is mature enough to be delivered safely. Amniocentesis may be done
to determine the maturity of the fetus's lungs before delivery is
scheduled.
• After multiple IUTs, most of the baby’s blood will be D negative donor
blood, therefore, the Direct Antiglobulin test will be negative, but the
Indirect Antiglobulin Test will be positive.
• After IUTs, the cord bilirubin is not an accurate indicator of rate of
hemolysis or of the likelihood of the need for post-natal exchange
transfusion.
Intrauterine Transfusion
• An intrauterine fetal blood transfusion is done in the hospital. The mother may
have to stay overnight after the procedure.
• The mother is sedated, and an ultrasound image is obtained to determine the
position of the fetus and placenta.
• After the mother's abdomen is cleaned with an antiseptic solution, she is given a
local anesthetic injection to numb the abdominal area where the transfusion
needle will be inserted.
• Medication may be given to the fetus to temporarily stop fetal movement.
• Ultrasound is used to guide the needle through the mother's abdomen into the
fetus's abdomen or an umbilical cord vein.
• A compatible blood type (usually type O, Rh-negative) is delivered into the fetus's
abdominal cavity or into an umbilical cord blood vessel.
• The mother is usually given antibiotics to prevent infection. She may also be given
tocolytic medication to prevent labor from beginning, though this is unusual.
Intrauterine Transfusion
• Increasingly common and relatively safe procedure since the development
of high resolution ultrasound particularly with colour Doppler capability.
• MCA Doppler velocity as a reliable non-invasive screening tool to detect
fetal anemia.
– The vessel can be easily visualized with color flow Doppler as early as 18
weeks’ gestation.
– In cases of fetal anemia, an increase in the fetal cardiac output and a decrease
in blood viscosity contribute to an increased blood flow velocity

Types of antibody IgG (immune) IgG (immune)
Prophylaxis None RhIG, antenatal RhIG
DAT / IAT
• Antibody Screen
– To test detect for IgG alloantibodies that react at 37°C
– If negative, repeat before RhIg therapy and/or if patient is transfused
or has history of antibodies (3rd trimester)
• Antibody ID
– Weakly reacting anti-D may be due to FMH or passively administered
anti-G (RhIg)
– If antibody is IgG, anti-D is most common followed by anti-K and other
Rh antibodies
Serologic Tests (cont’d)
• Paternal phenotype
• Amniocyte testing
– If mother has anti-D, then father probably is heterozygous for D
antigen
– Amniocytes can be tested as early as 10-12 weeks gestation to detect
the gene for the D antigen and any other antigens
Serologic testing (cont’d)
• Antibody titration
– Antibody concentration is determined by antibody titration
– Mother’s serum is diluted to determine the highest dilution that reacts
with reagent RBCs at 37°C (60 min) and AHG phase
– First sample is frozen and run with later specimens
– Testing is repeated at 16 and 22 weeks and 1- to 4- week intervals
after
– A Difference of >2 dilutions; or a score change of more than 10 is
considered a significant change in titer (Marsh score)
• A titer of 16-32 is significant
• >16 should be repeated at 18-20 weeks’ gestation
• >32 indicates a need for amniocentesis or cordocentesis between 18-
24 weeks’ gestation
• <32 is repeated every 4 weeks (18-20 weeks) and every 2-4 weeks
(third trimester)
Marsh score
• The agglutination reactions for each dilution are given a corresponding
score; scores are added:
• 4+ 12
• 3+ 10
• 2+ 8
• 1+ 5
• w+ 3
3+ +3 +3 +2 +2 +2 1+
10 + 10 + 10 + 8 + 8 + 8 + 5
= 59
Amniocentesis & Cordocentesis
• About 18-20 weeks’ gestation
• Cordocentesis takes a sample of
umbilical vessel to obtain blood
sample
• Amniocentesis assesses the
status of the fetus using
amniotic fluid
– Fluid is read on a
spectrophotometer (350-700
nm)
– Change in optical density (ΔOD)
above the baseline of 450 nm
is the bilirubin measurement
Analysis of amniotic fluid (example)
ΔOD
Liley graph
• The ΔOD is plotted on the Liley graph
according to gestational age
• Three zones estimate the severity of HDN
– Lower: mildly or unaffected fetus (Zone 1)
– Midzone: moderate HDN, repeat testing (Zone 2)
– Upper: severe HDN and fetal death (Zone 3)
Liley graph
a ΔOD of .206 nm at
35 weeks correlates
* with severe HDN
What to do?
• Intrauterine transfusion is
done if:
– Amniotic fluid ΔOD is in high
zone II or zone III
– Cordocentesis has hemoblobin
<10 g/dL
– Hydrops is noticed on ultrasound
• Removes bilirubin
• Removes sensitized RBCs
• Removes antibody
Other treatments
• Early Delivery
– If labor is induced, fetal lung maturity must be determined using
the lecithin/sphingomyelon (L/S) ratio (thin layer
chromatography) to avoid respiratory distress syndrome
• Phototherapy (after birth)
– Change unconjugated bilirubin to biliverdin
– May avoid the need for exchange transfusion
• Newborn transfusion
– Small aliquots of blood (PediPak)
– Corrects anemia
Postpartum testing
• ABO – forward only
• Rh grouping – including weak D
• DAT
• Elution
– Done when a DAT is positive and HDN is
questionable
– Removes antibody from RBC to identify
– Treatment does not change
Prevention
• RhIg (RhoGAM®) is given to the mother to
prevent immunization to the D antigen
– “Fools” mom into thinking she has the antibody
– RhIg (1 dose) is given at 28 weeks’ gestation
– RhIg attaches to fetal RBCs in maternal circulation
and are removed in maternal spleen; this prevents
alloimmunization by mother
– May cause a positive DAT in newborn (check
history)
Postpartum administration of RhIg
Fetomaternal Hemorrhage:
<1 rosette per 3 lpf = 1 dose of RhIg
>1 rosette per 3 lpf = Quantitate bleed
Kleihauer-Betke acid elution
• Quantitates the number of fetal cells in
circulation
– Fetal hemoglobin is resistant to acid and retain
their hemoglobin (appear bright pink)
– Adult hemoglobin is susceptible to acid and
leaches hemoglobin into buffer (“ghost” cells)
Calculating KB test
% fetal cells x 50
Required dose of RhIg
30
Considerations
• RhIg is of no benefit once a person has formed
anti-D
• It is VERY important to distinguish the
presence of anti-D as:
– Residual RhIg from a previous dose OR
– True immunization from exposure to D+ RBCs
• RhIg is not given to the mother if the infant is
D negative (and not given to the infant)
