[citation needed] Diagnosis is usually made by investigation of a newborn baby who has developed jaundice during the first week of life. Testing. Coombs - after birth, the newborn will have a direct Coombs test run to confirm antibodies attached to the infant's red blood cells. This test is run from cord blood. [5]
HDN is classified by the type of antigens involved. The main types are ABO HDN, Rhesus HDN, Kell HDN, and other antibodies. Combinations of antibodies (for example, anti-Rhc and anti-RhE occurring together) can be especially severe. [citation needed] ABO hemolytic disease of the newborn can range from mild to severe, but generally, it is a mild ...
Neonatal jaundice is a yellowish discoloration of the white part of the eyes and skin in a newborn baby due to high bilirubin levels. [1] Other symptoms may include excess sleepiness or poor feeding. [ 1 ]

Rh D hemolytic disease of the newborn (also known as Rh disease) ABO hemolytic disease of the newborn (the direct Coombs test may only be weakly positive) Anti-Kell hemolytic disease of the newborn; Rh c hemolytic disease of the newborn; Rh E hemolytic disease of the newborn; Other blood group incompatibility (RhC, Rhe, Kidd, Duffy, Lewis, MN ...
Blood compatibility testing is routinely performed before a blood transfusion.The full compatibility testing process involves ABO and RhD (Rh factor) typing; screening for antibodies against other blood group systems; and crossmatching, which involves testing the recipient's blood plasma against the donor's red blood cells as a final check for incompatibility.
Hemolytic disease of the newborn (anti-Kell 1) is caused by a mismatch between the Kell antigens of the mother and fetus. About 91% of the population are Kell 1 negative and about 9% are Kell 1 positive. A fraction of a percentage are homozygous for Kell 1. Therefore, about 4.5% of babies born to a Kell 1 negative mother are Kell 1 positive ...
Rh disease (also known as rhesus isoimmunization, Rh (D) disease, or rhesus incompatibility, and blue baby disease) is a type of hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn (HDFN). HDFN due to anti-D antibodies is the proper and currently used name for this disease as the Rh blood group system actually has more than 50 antigens and not only the ...
