Application of anti-D immunoglobulin in D-negative pregnant women in China.

This article summarizes the current situation of anti-D immunoglobulin (anti-D-Ig) use in RhD-negative pregnant women at home and abroad. The article describes the concept, research and development history, and domestic and foreign applications of anti-D-Ig and points out that anti-D-Ig has not been widely used in China, mainly due to reasons such as unavailability in the domestic market and non-standard current application strategies. The article focuses on analyzing the genetic and immunological characteristics of RhD-negative populations in China. The main manifestations were that the total number of hemolytic disease of the newborn (HDN) relatively high and D variant type. In particular, there are more Asian-type DEL, the importance of clinical application of anti-D-Ig was pointed out, and its antibody-mediated immunosuppressive mechanism was analyzed, which mainly includes red blood cell clearance, epitope blocking/steric hindrance, and Fc γ R Ⅱ B receptor mediated B cell inhibition, anti-D-Ig glycosylation, etc.; clarify the testing strategies of RhD blood group that should be adopted in response to the negative initial screening of pregnant and postpartum women; this article elaborates on the necessity of using anti-D-Ig in RhD-negative mothers after miscarriage or miscarriage, as well as the limitations of its application both domestically and internationally. It also proposes a solution strategy for detecting RhD blood group incompatibility HDFN as early as possible, diagnosing it in a timely manner, and using anti-D-Ig for its prevention and treatment. If the DEL gene is defined as an Asian-type DEL, anti-D-Ig prophylaxis in women would be unnecessary. Finally, based on the specificity of RhD-negative individuals, the article looks forward to the application trend of anti-D-Ig in China. It also called for related drugs to be listed in China as soon as possible and included in medical insurance.
