RBC abs and critical titers according to Swedish national guidelines 2015
| Risk for HDFN . | Types of RBC abs . |
|---|---|
| High risk | Anti-D |
| Anti-K | |
| Anti-c | |
| Moderate risk | Anti-C |
| Anti-e | |
| Anti-E | |
| Anti-k | |
| Anti-Fya | |
| Anti-U | |
| Low risk | Anti-Cw |
| Anti-f | |
| Anti-Jka | |
| Anti-Jkb | |
| Anti-M | |
| Anti-Kpa | |
| Anti-Kpb | |
| Anti-Yta | |
| Anti-Coa | |
| Anti-Cob | |
| Anti-Ge2,3 | |
| Titer | Management implication |
| 1-8 | Not critical for the fetus, but an indication for continued surveillance with antibody titers. The exception is anti-K where monitoring with Doppler interrogation of MCA PSV should start at titer ≥8. |
| 16-32 | Low risk of severe HDFN, but neonatal hyperbilirubinemia requiring phototherapy is possible. |
| ≥64 | Close monitoring, including Doppler interrogation of MCA PSV. Risk of need for neonatal exchange transfusion. |
| ≥128 | Close monitoring, including Doppler interrogation of MCA PSV. Intrauterine blood transfusion/neonatal exchange transfusion may be required. |
