Rh Factor

rhesus factor, Rh factor, Rh (a blood group antigen possessed by Rh-positive people; if an Rh-negative person receives a blood transfusion from an Rh-positive person it can result in hemolysis and anemia)

The only way antibodies are developed against the Rh factor is through placental sensitization or transfusion.

QUESTION: Does anyone know why we have WinRho in our Cubix fridge but they get Rhogam from radiology?? As far as I can tell, they are the same thing...just different brand names. Please enlighten me!
