When should a repeat antibody screen be performed in the management of Hemolytic Disease?

Only if the patient has a history of unexpected antibodies

In the third trimester if the patient was transfused

At the initial prenatal visit

In parallel with the initial sample at 2- to 4-week intervals (correct)

What is the purpose of conducting antibody titration for IgG antibodies in the management of Hemolytic Disease?

To confirm the presence of D-antigen antibodies

To identify clinically significant antibodies

To determine the baseline level of IgG antibodies (correct)

To exclude the possibility of other unexpected antibodies

What is the significance of performing antibody titration before RhIG therapy in D-negative patients?

To prevent adverse reactions during RhIG therapy (correct)

To establish a baseline level of IgG antibodies

To confirm the presence of D-antigen antibodies

To identify if there are clinically significant antibodies present
