Hi congratulations on your pregnancy anti-Cw is a naturally occuring red cell antibody , it can cause Haemaolytic disease of the newborn ( mild to moderate) your ante natal clinic should take some more blood from you at 28 weeks to recheck your red cell antibody screen and exclude any other antibodies which you may have produced since your first test at booking in As only approx 2% of the population are Cw(+) I would expect this anti-Cw to cause you no problems ie your partner is probably also like you Cw(-). Regarding being Kell negative , 90% of caucasians are Kell Negative. You do not state that you have an anti-Kell antibody so that will be all ok as well. If you did have an anti-Kell they would monitor the titre ( strength) of the antibody in your blood through pregnancy and collect a sample from your partner to phenotype him for the Kell antigen All females under 60 years in the UK receive Kell negative blood automatically to avoid Kell negative recipients potentially developing their own anti-Kells if they receive Kell Positive blood, this I would expect is common practive everywhere Best wishes
excellent docs like the incident form , we have pathology wide one and was going to make a more transfusion specific one and this is good, would probably include time as well Some staff are touchy regarding names of who made error do you anomise this or do you not find it a problem
