AntiAnti--D ProphylaxisD ProphylaxisHaemolytic disease of the newborn
(HDN)
• A condition where the infant’s red cells are prematurely destroyed by the action of specific antibodies in the maternal blood which cross the
placenta during pregnancy.

AntiAnti--D ProphylaxisD Prophylaxis• 1609:The first description of a
neonatal disease, almost certainly due to Rh HDN, can be found in the memoirs of a French midwife, Louise Bourgeois.

AntiAnti--D ProphylaxisD Prophylaxis• 1939: Levine and Stetson showed that
HDN was caused by an antibody in the maternal plasma.
• 1940:”Rh factor” discovered by Landsteiner and Weiner
• 1941: Levine et al tested the antibody against the parents of HDN infants
• 1945 Coombs, Mourant and Race showed that HDN was caused by maternal antibodies crossing the placenta

AntiAnti--D ProphylaxisD Prophylaxis• 1956:It was shown that ABO
incompatibility affords substantial protection against HDN
• 1969: First injection of Anti-D given• 1971: First controlled trial of Anti-D
given post delivery• 1974: MRC working party reported
on the trials and agreed the dose.

AntiAnti--D ProphylaxisD Prophylaxis1969: post natal anti-D introduced
1976: extended to miscarriages and terminations
1981: sensitising events in pregnancy

AntiAnti--D ProphylaxisD ProphylaxisEffectiveness of the program
1969 46 deaths in 100,000 births(HDN in 1% of neonates)
1990 1.6 deaths in 100,000 births
But it was still occurring and shown to be following sensitising events in the third trimester
2002: RAADP introduced following NICE recommendation

THE IMMUNE RESPONSE
![Page 10: Transfusion Laboratory Manager · Maggi Webb Transfusion Laboratory Manager Northern Devon Healthcare Trust. Anti-D Prophylaxis Back to Basics •History •Immune response •Rh](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022041011/5ebb5741795e7110ae7757fe/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
AntiAnti--D ProphylaxisD ProphylaxisPrimary antibody response
• Antibody usually detected 8-9 weeks after sensitisation
10-15% non responders10-15% very good responders
• Weak IgM response followed by IgGIgM antibodies cannot cross the placentaIgG antibodies can

AntiAnti--D ProphylaxisD ProphylaxisSecondary antibody response
• Second exposure leads to rapid rise in IgG antibody level from 3 days
• Secondary response requires a small stimulation (<0.3ml)

AntiAnti--D ProphylaxisD ProphylaxisSensitising events
• Amniocentesis• Cordocentesis• Other in-utero therapeutic intervention• Ante-partum haemorrhage• Ectopic pregnancy• External cephalic version• Fall/abdominal trauma• IUD• Miscarriage• Termination
Any sensitising effect should be considered for anti-D even after RAADP

AntiAnti--D ProphylaxisD ProphylaxisLEARNING POINT
Consider issuing anti-D on a named patient basis only

AntiAnti--D ProphylaxisD ProphylaxisSHOT REPORTS
• SHOT started 1996• Recurrent themes include:• Communication failures between hospital and community midwives• Lack of a robust system for receiving anti-D Ig for RAADP• Failure of the post-natal discharge checklist• Poor advice from inexperienced laboratory staff• Poor advice from midwives regarding the need for anti-D following sensitising events• Failure by both lab and clinical staff to follow up women with positive antibody
screens in pregnancy and an assumption that the result reflected PAD when in fact none had been given
• Inappropriate use of Kleihauer test to determine the need for anti-D
![Page 24: Transfusion Laboratory Manager · Maggi Webb Transfusion Laboratory Manager Northern Devon Healthcare Trust. Anti-D Prophylaxis Back to Basics •History •Immune response •Rh](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022041011/5ebb5741795e7110ae7757fe/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
AntiAnti--D ProphylaxisD ProphylaxisSHOT LEARNING POINTS
• Kleihauer test is used to determine if additional anti-D is required……..not whether anti-D is needed in the first place
• Interpretation of positive antibody screens in pregnancy must be the responsibility of senior laboratory staff and must take into account an accurate history
• Partnership between the laboratory and the clinical area. Clinicians must be more responsive to requests for follow up samples and the lab must not assume that actions have been taken purely because a report has been issued.
