The Rh blood group system has been extensively studied and remains clinically relevant. This highly polymorphic system comprises over 50 expressed antigens embedded in the red blood cell (RBC) membrane. The function of these highly immunogenic proteins is unknown. Patients with specific Rh phenotypes require special attention during transfusion and pregnancy to avoid potentially life-threatening complications. This activity reviews the evaluation and management of patients with various Rh blood group phenotypes and highlights the role of the interprofessional healthcare team in caring for these patients in various clinical settings.
