Laboratory assessment of fetomaternal haemorrhage and Rh immune globulin management: Canadian practice and scoping review

British Journal of Haematology, EarlyView.
Fetomaternal haemorrhage (FMH) in RhD‐negative individuals can cause alloimmunization with future antibody‐mediated destruction of fetal red blood cells. Accurate FMH estimation guides Rh immune globulin dosing. The rosette test, the most used qualitative method, may yield false negatives with fetal RhD variants or false positives with maternal ...
