Background
and Objective: Of
all blood group systems, RH is one of the most important blood groups, which
its compatibility is one of the essential principals of transfusion. Two genes
(RhD and RhCE) locate on chromosome 1, and encode the Rh proteins. RhD is an
immunogenic antigen. We describe a rare Rh phenotype D-- in this report.
Case Report: A forty- nine- year- old man,
who received two O+ packed cells once time was studied in this report. He was admitted
to hospital for kidney transplantation that reiterative mismatch cross matches
were seen. Serologic tests of patient showed a rare Rh phenotype D-- with
frequency of one in ten thousand.
Conclusion: Considering the importance of Rh
in blood transfusion complications, typing erythrocyte and preparing autologous
blood will reduce transfusion complications.
Key
words: D--Phenotype,
Transfusion, Rh blood group
