IMPORTANCIA DE LA DETERMINACIÓN DE LA COMPATIBILIDAD FENOTÍPICA DE LOS ANTÍGENOS DEL SISTEMA RH DE MADRES E HIJOS. A PROPÓSITO DE UN CASO EN EL HOSPITAL REGIONAL DR. VERDI CEVALLOS BALDA

Abstract

Within the RH system there are proteins of specific characteristic present in the red blood cells, their determination is of paramount importance in the individuals for the blood classification. It is commonly diagnosed only with D-antigen, and it is believed that the presence of this does not affect our health, as are the other antigens that form the Rh system. Over time, research on the RH system has had great growth since antigens of clinical significance cause great conditions for babies at birth or in their later days, these antigens are: C, c, E, e. It is for this reason that our main objective is to verify the importance of the phenotypic incompatibility of the most important antigens of the system Rh between mothers and children in the Regional Hospital Dr. Verdi Cevallos Balda, after completing this objective We can show that this establishment presented Rh incompatibility with 1.76% of 567 live births and all of whom had jaundice and were treated with due process according to those established in the policies of Hospital, Phototherapy and Exanguineotransfusión. With a percentage of 100%, the necessary tests are not carried out in cases of such incompatibility in the cases presented. It is important to emphasize that there is a deficit of knowledge of the serious conditions that causes this pathology, so we proceeded to the delivery of informative posters to the health personnel of the Hospital, in order to want to promote and to give the importance that the topic Deserves
