  Can someone answer this for me re Anti D

  by fifi40 in

  i have just been reading minimus thread about jws tight to practice their religion and there was a lot of talk about blood transfusions.. so something i could never fully understand is the anti d immunoglobulin injection which is given to rh negative mothers during and after pregnancy.

  i am rh neg and i received this after each pregnancy and was led to believe it was a conscience matter, and yet it is made from blood collected by human blood donors............was i wrong to have it (to clarify i was a jw at the time)............was it a matter of conscience....and if so what is the difference between that and a blood transfusion, if they both come from other humans blood.. fi.

  I would imagine that Anti-D is viewed much as other vaccines and immunizations are. Which would be why its/was a conscience matter.

  Rh immunoglobin ( Anti-D) is a blood product that is produced from the plasma of donors. It is further filtered and screened to finally produce Antibody D. If any of the babies blood gets in to the mom's bloodstream then the anti d will bind to the babies red blood cells and remove them from circulation before mom has a chance to make her own antibodies against those red cells.
  
  Antibodies are really just basically proteins flooding around in the blood stream waiting to do their job. They would only get classified as a blood product because they use the blood as a means of transportation.

  hey all,.

  there are a few "what damage did the watchtower do to you?

  "-type threads floating about, and it's easy to get sort of down over it all.

  I successfully passed all requirements for my Transfusion Lab rotation in school!
  
  Despite having 5 quizzes, 3 tests (2 finals, 1 normal) 2 assignments due AND a final lab practical this week I have remained sane and fairly rational (although it is only Wednesday so it could still all go horribly wrong) Chocolate has helped. Coffee also.
  
  I tested my blood and I'm A positive!! If I need blood I except all A pos JWDers to donate! lol
