  • Title: Management of foetal hydrops secondary to Kell isoimmunisation via foetal blood transfusion: a Doppler-guided approach.
    Author: Mohd J, Tan J, Yeo GS.
    Journal: Singapore Med J; 2009 Apr; 50(4):e143-6. PubMed ID: 19421670.
    Abstract:
    We describe a male neonate with foetal hydrops due to foetal anaemia caused by Kell isoimmunisation. The severity of anaemia was monitored by Doppler ultrasonography of the middle cerebral artery peak systolic velocity, and this was used to time the foetal blood transfusions. The 33-year-old Indian mother received a total of five foetal blood transfusions from 21 weeks to 31 weeks of gestation, resulting in resolution of the anaemia and hydrops.
