ABO Incompatibility - Hemolytic Disease Of The Newborn (HDN) - Hematology & Pathology

ABO Incompatibility - Hemolytic Disease Of The Newborn (HDN) - Hematology, Immunology & Pathology.
There are two main types of hemolytic disease of the newborn; ABO incompatibility and Rh incompatibility.
Anti-A and anti-B antibodies - most of the time - are IgM (i.e. they don't cross the placenta, but some mothers, naturally, have IgG anti-A or IgG anti-B antibodies, (i.e. can cross the placenta causing problems to the fetal RBCs.)

Unfortunately I had to learn about all this only after the death of my son due to medical negligence. They mis-matched my blood and said my rh was positive. Only to find out I'm actually O negative. Had they diagnosed my rhesus correctly, I should have been treated for the abo incompatibility at a high risk medical institution. Unfortunately my son passed 6days after birth. Still struggling with it. Was my 1st baby. I'm still scared to try get pregnant in the near future. This all happened just 3months ago. My your soul continue to rest in peace my beautiful son.

I watched many of your videos back in my first year of med school. I'm now in third year revising my basics and came back to rewatch them. YOU ARE AMAZING, Thank you soooooooo much! just want to make sure of a point. the IgGs here that cross the placenta to attack the fetus's RBCs are a result of the mismatches transfusion and they're not the same as the IgMs that naturally occur in the plasma, right?

[@Android982]

Does incompatibility occurs if the mother is let's say B+ and baby is either A+/A-/AB+/AB-? (or is ABO incompatibility only occurs if mom is O blood group and baby is either A or B blood group?)

[@argumentumadbaculum]

It is still an incompatibity. How ever the hemolysis occurs only if mum is 0+ve as only these mum's produce IgG antibodies which cross the placenta, A and B mums produce IgM, which does not cross the placenta.

Also they are naturally occuring, they don't develop during pregnancy or blood transfusion or anything.. And they don't cross the placenta, they meet baby's RBCs during labour 🤔

You need to revise your information here, also blood group O means you have H Ag, not "no Ag"

Rh antigens are so sparsely scattered on the erythrocyte surface that IgG molecules bound to the Rh antigens are too far apart to fix C1q. Therefore, complement-mediated hemolysis cannot be invoked to explain hemolytic disease of the newborn. By what mechanism are the red cells destroyed?

Help. AntiA antibody is igm. AntiB antibody is igm How is antiA and AntiB antibody found in o gp individuals of igG type?

Hey I have a doubt here Normally the Ab’s are of IgM type which can’t cross the placenta How the Ab’s turn IgG?

[@bennykelpenco8405]

Your knowledge is shallow! the fact that ABs are predominantly IgM doesn't mean that they're the only ABs. There are also IgG antibodies: IgG1, IgG2 and IgG3, but it is only the IgG1 which have the ability to cross the placental barrier.

[@TatianaLMY]

Hi thanks for the well verse video, im quite confused with why O blood group can donate blood to A blood group however via blood transfusion. Is it due to when the blood is donated, they will remove the antibody b from plasma ( if they want to transfuse plasma) or they will just transfuse red cell pack? hope u can answer me, thank you very much

[@Mefrenchygirl]

Hi! When you donate your blood, they separate plasma and red blood cells so: Blood transfusion = red blood cells + no plasma so no antibodies : hemolysis if the receiver has antibodies against the donor (O has no antibodies so can donate to anyone) Plasma transfusion = plasma (duh) + antibodies from the donor: hemolysis if the receiver has the corresponding antigen (a group O donor has both A and B antibodies so cannot donate to group A, B or AB) Hope this was sufficiently clear ;)

Let’s say that we are giving 1 unit of blood from a donor who is blood group O to a recipient who is blood group A, the amount of anti-A antibodies in the blood of the donor will not be sufficient to cause significant hemolysis to the recipient...That’s why O is a universal donor...Also, nowadays we rarely give whole blood, we separate packed red blood cells (contain antigens) from fresh frozen plasma (contains antibodies), but still, the same concept applies.

This same thing happened to me. I am also confused about it but I am O+ and my baby is AB.
