Which of the following is a symptom of Rh incompatibility?

Rh incompatibility occurs when an Rh-negative mother produces antibodies against Rh-positive red blood cells from her Rh-positive fetus. This condition can lead to severe hemolytic disease in the newborn, resulting in several symptoms due to the breakdown of red blood cells.

Jaundice is a symptom commonly seen as a result of the increased breakdown of red blood cells, leading to elevated bilirubin levels in the blood. This condition appears as a yellowing of the skin and eyes in the affected newborn.

Anemia is also a result of Rh incompatibility. The destruction of red blood cells causes a decrease in hemoglobin levels, which can lead to anemia in the newborn, manifesting with symptoms like pallor or lethargy.

Hypoglycemia may occur in a newborn with Rh incompatibility due to rapid metabolism or other related factors. However, it is not the primary symptom associated directly with Rh incompatibility.

Given that jaundice and anemia are direct symptoms of Rh incompatibility, selecting “All of the above” encompasses these specific responses, highlighting their relevance in the conditions that arise from Rh incompatibility.
