Incompatibilidad Rh - Serie
Parte 1
La incompatibilidad Rh se presenta cuando el tipo de sangre de la madre es Rh negativo y el tipo de sangre del feto es Rh positivo.
Parte 2
Si parte de la sangre del feto pasa al torrente sanguíneo de la madre, su cuerpo producirá anticuerpos en respuesta.
Parte 3
Estos anticuerpos podrían pasar de nuevo hacia el feto a través de la placenta y causar daño en los glóbulos rojos de éste, ocasionado anemia de leve a grave en dicho feto.
