suhu Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 Does anyone know how fast RhoGAM is absorped and can be detected in a sample drawn right after an injection?On occassion, we have received a sample drawn AFTER the RhoGAM shot was given. We have detected anti D in these samples, using solid phase automated testing. How fast can the RhoGAM be detected?thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lcsmrz Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 I've seen Anti-D's in antenatal patients, where the nurse gave the injection, then collected the sample. Some must be absorbed immediately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mabel Adams Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 When I tried to chase down this info a few years ago, I found it very hard to get a clear answer. It depends on the size of the patient, muscle mass, probably how active the muscle is after the injection, the time between injection and blood draw and probably some other variables. The only thing I was able to do was follow the patient over time and make sure it was getting weaker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMcCord Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 I've seen it 4+ strong by gel in a sample drawn by the nurse immediately after giving the injection. I've also seen it 4+ strong in several patients that were given their injection at the office and sent to us to be drawn - draw time 30-60 minutes post injection.
