Why is ab blood called panda blood?

As the name implies, panda blood is as precious and rare as panda. Type ab blood is not uncommon. The real panda blood is rh negative. Because in addition to abo blood group, there is also rh blood group system.

Rh blood groups are positive and negative. There are very few Rh-negative people in our population, less than one thousandth, so it is called panda blood. Although rh-negative is rare, it is very important in clinic, because patients with rh-negative only receive rh-negative blood. If rh-positive blood is transfused, severe hemolysis will occur, which is one of the reasons why it is called panda blood.

Whether Rh is negative or Rh is positive, they are all healthy people just because of their different blood types. However, if a woman with Rh-negative blood is pregnant, if the blood type of the fetus is different from that of the pregnant woman, the fetus may have a serious hemolytic reaction after birth, and even endanger the life of the fetus. Therefore, pregnant women with Rh negative blood should pay attention to many things, and pregnant women with Rh negative blood should pay attention to the following points:

1, regular physical examination

Pregnant women with Rh-negative blood should have regular check-ups, mainly blood group antibody tests. Once Rh antibodies are confirmed, they should be transferred to another hospital immediately. It is best to go to a hospital specializing in rare blood group's fertility for treatment. If antibodies are found during pregnancy, they should be checked every two weeks.

Mainly to observe whether the antibody is elevated. When the antibody rises, it will have a certain impact on the fetus. It is also necessary to check whether the fetus has edema and effusion in combination with B-ultrasound. When the antibody rises above 164, amniotic fluid examination should be done to check the fetal blood type, hemoglobin and bilirubin levels. When the antibody titer is greater than 128, plasma exchange should be carried out according to the fetal situation of pregnant women. If the fetus has severe anemia, postpartum can be considered.

2. Don't miscarry easily.

When a woman is diagnosed with Rh-negative blood group, it is not easy to have an abortion, so as to avoid the occurrence of Rh antibodies in women due to abortion, and it is easy to cause neonatal hemolysis when she is pregnant again. If she has a history of childbirth and abortion before, the woman should check her blood group antibody from the 0/2 week of pregnancy.

After that, an antibody test should be done every other month. Postpartum hemorrhage is one of the four major causes of maternal death. Therefore, Rh-negative pregnant women need to prepare blood source for delivery after confirming pregnancy. It is suggested to look for blood sources of the same blood type among relatives.
