A mismatch of which factor between mother and fetus causes HDN?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Hemolytic disease of the newborn (HDN) occurs when there is a mismatch of Rh factor between the mother and fetus. This is because of the Rh factor incompatibility, in which the Rh-negative mother produces antibodies against the Rh-positive fetus's RBCs. This can lead to severe anemia in the fetus and, in severe cases, death. Factors such as Hb, Hgb, and ANA do not cause HDN.
