bevydawn Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 I am curious as to how other facilities handle crossmatches on women who have had a previous "anti-D possibly due to Rhogam". Do you do full AHG crossmatches from that point on or do you do IS crossmatches after the anti-D is no longer demonstrating, and for those facilities that do electronic crossmatches, would you do an electronic crossmatch on these women or are they forever marked as having a clinically significant antibody? Thanks for any input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John C. Staley Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 We have a code in the computer identifying the anti-D as most likely the result of a RhIG injection. As long as we can detect the antibody we honor it with a coombs crossmatch. When it goes away we're back to IS crossmatches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
