Massive antenatal fetomaternal hemorrhage: evidence for long-term survival of fetal red blood cells
Research output: Contribution to journal › Journal article › Research › peer-review
Massive fetomaternal hemorrhage (FMH) can lead to life-threatening anemia. Quantification based on flow cytometry with anti-hemoglobin F (HbF) is applicable in all cases but underestimation of large fetal bleeds has been reported. A large FMH from an ABO-compatible fetus allows an estimation of the life span of fetal red blood cells (RBCs) in the maternal circulation.
