Abstract

Current standard of care in Rh negative pregnant patients is to routinely administer antenatal Rho(D) immunoglobulin therapy. In this study, we evaluated the accuracy of a stand-alone non-invasive fetal RhD PCR test using maternal blood to determine the fetal Rh status when compared to newborn cord blood Rh antigen testing.
