FOETO-MATERNAL HAEMORRHAGE AND BLOOD GROUPS | BIONATURE

A total of 96 samples, including 48 intravenous blood samples from mothers and 48 cord blood samples from newborns, were treated to ABO and Rh blood typing to determine the rate of transplacental transit of foetal erythrocytes into maternal circulation. Each maternal blood sample was processed using Kleihauer's (1957) approach for detecting foetal cells. The current investigation discovered an overall incidence of FMH of 62.50 percent. FMH instances have also been found to be distributed differently among different motherneonate combinations. The data show that ABO compatible motherpeonate combinations have 73.52 percent FMH positives compared to 35.3 x71 percent (FMH positive) cases in incompatible combinations, and this difference is statistically significant. The findings also show a high prevalence of moderate (100.00%) and mild haemorrhages (66.66 to 87.50%) in ABO compatible mother-neonate pairs that are positive for FMH. The amount of haemorrhage was observed to be lower in ABO incompatible mother-neonate combinations.
