Quantifying FMH

When a screening test such as the rosette test indicates a significant FMH, a quantitative test is required to determine the dose of RhIg required. Tests include

  • Kleihauer-Betke acid elution test;
  • Flow cytometry;
  • Other techniques that are less commonly used, eg, fluorescence microscopy and enzyme-linked antiglobulin test.
