Descriptor English: Rh Isoimmunization
Descriptor Spanish: Isoinmunización Rh
Descriptor isoinmunización Rh
Entry term(s) isoinmunización rhesus
Scope note: Proceso por el cual los eritrocitos Rh+ del feto entran en la circulación de la madre Rh- provocando en ella la síntesis de anticuerpos de tipo INMUNOGLOBULINA G, que pueden atravesar la placenta y destruir los eritrocitos Rh+ del feto. La isoinmunización Rh también puede ser consecuencia de TRANSFUSIÓN SANGUÍNEA de sangre incompatible.

Scope note: The process by which fetal Rh+ erythrocytes enter the circulation of an Rh- mother, causing her to produce IMMUNOGLOBULIN G antibodies, which can cross the placenta and destroy the erythrocytes of Rh+ fetuses. Rh isoimmunization can also be caused by BLOOD TRANSFUSION with mismatched blood.
