Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

RhIg is not involved in fluid balance, rather it is administered to prevent immunization to the D antigen in Rh-negative individuals who have been exposed to Rh-positive blood (e.g. during childbirth, miscarriage, or blood transfusion). RhIg may be administered intramuscularly in the perinatal or postnatal period to prevent sensitization to the D antigen. RhIg is not an alternative to IVIG, which is used to treat a variety of autoimmune and inflammatory conditions.
