Other names for CRP are high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and ultra-sensitive C-reactive protein (us-CRP). A high level of CRP in the blood is a marker of any condition that causes inflammation, from an upper respiratory infection to cancer.
Introduction. Rhesus disease is a condition where antibodies in a pregnant woman's blood destroy her baby's blood cells. It's also known as haemolytic disease of the foetus and newborn (HDFN). Rhesus disease doesn't harm the mother, but it can cause the baby to become anaemic and develop jaundice. Read about the signs of rhesus disease in a baby.
Erythroblastosis fetalis is suspected if the babyâs blood flow is affected. If a baby is jaundiced (appears yellow in skin color due to a build-up of bilirubin) after birth, but Rh incompatibility is not suspected, the baby may be experiencing problems due to ABO incompatibility.
