The Basic Concepts of the Effect of Rhesus (Rh) Factor on Fetus: A Mini Review
Abstract
We often hear about cases of incompatibility of the blood of newly married couples, where it results in fears of fetal blood breakdown and others. The same problem generates by transferring blood from a donor to a recipient. This mini-review discusses this problem, outlines the possible reasons for blood aggregation and its negative effects and gives tips to avoid this problem in the future.
