Test Comments: Help
Hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn (HDFN) results from sensitization of the mother’s immune system to foreign antigens present on the red cells of the fetus. Many red cell antigen systems have been associated with HDFN when incompatibilities exist between the mother and fetus. When a pregnant woman presents … View more
