Summary

Objective:
The aim of this review is to give comprehensive summary of erythrocyte alloimunization of pregnant women, laboratory dignostics and clinical importance.

Design:
Review.

Setting:
University Hospital Olomouc, Transfusion Department, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology.

Subject and method:
Based on literature analysis using database search engines PubMed, Google Scholar, Ovid in field of erythrocyte antibodies, laboratory diagnostics and clinical importance up-to-date knowledge.

Conclusion:
Erythrocyte alloimunization anti-D antibodies decreases in connection with the introduction of immunoprofylaxis. Immunization of non RhD antibodies with impossibility using of immunoprofylaxis remains still clinical problem.

Keywords:
alloimmunization – anti-D antibodies – prenatal diagnosis
