Rh Incompatibility treatment in Benito Juárez

Rh incompatibility occurs when a mother with a negative Rh factor carries a baby with a positive Rh factor, which can lead the maternal body to react to the baby's red blood cells. It is a situation that is monitored during pregnancy.

Why it matters? In later pregnancies this reaction can affect the baby's blood, so its early detection is key.

Possible manifestations in the newborn: jaundice, anemia, or swelling, depending on the degree of involvement.

Who cares for it? The pediatrician and the neonatologist follow up on the baby, while the hematologist contributes a perspective on blood matters. If you are expecting a baby and know your Rh factor, it is worth discussing it with one of these specialists for appropriate support.
