Hemolytic Disease of the Fetus Hemolytic Disease of the Fetus and Newborn (HDFN)and Newborn (HDFN)
A disorder of the fetus or newborn in which A disorder of the fetus or newborn in which fetal red blood cells are destroyed by fetal red blood cells are destroyed by maternal IgG antibodiesmaternal IgG antibodies
The IgG antibodies cross the placenta and The IgG antibodies cross the placenta and shorten red cell survivalshorten red cell survival
The premature red cell destruction results The premature red cell destruction results in disease varying from mild anemia to in disease varying from mild anemia to death in uterodeath in utero

The antigens bind to fetal cells and red The antigens bind to fetal cells and red cells are destroyed, liberating hemoglobincells are destroyed, liberating hemoglobin
The hemoglobin is metabolized to indirect The hemoglobin is metabolized to indirect hemoglobinhemoglobin
