Is this the future? We
had a CPD talk at work today. It won’t be long before the blood groups of the
unborn babies of pregnant women are determined by PCR on maternal blood
samples.
This
will save a lot of time and trouble. Mothers requiring anti-D post-delivery
will be identified before the baby is born. There will be no need to send cord
samples to the lab for labour-intensive cord blood grouping. Anti-D can be
issued far quicker than it currently is.
Win-win
all round… How soon can we start doing this?
