Indication
Prevention of Rh isoimmunization after blood transfusion
Prevention of Rh isoimmunization after blood transfusion refers to an immunoprophylactic intervention aimed at stopping an immune response in Rh(D)-negative individuals who have received inadvertent or emergency transfusions of Rh(D)-positive red blood cells or Rh-incompatible blood components.

In this hematologic and immunological state, exposure to the highly immunogenic foreign Rh(D) surface antigen prompts the recipient's immune system to generate anti-D alloantibodies.
Although typically asymptomatic in the recipient at the time of exposure, this humoral sensitization leads to permanent alloimmunization, creating a substantial risk of acute or delayed hemolytic transfusion reactions with future blood exposures and severe hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn in future pregnancies.
Prevention focuses primarily on individuals with childbearing potential and transfusion-dependent patients to clear circulating foreign Rh(D)-positive erythrocytes before primary antibody induction occurs.
