Quantifying FMH

When a screening test such as the rosette test indicates a significant FMH, a quantitative test is required to determine the dose of RhIG required. Tests include:
  • Kleihauer-Betke acid elution test
  • Flow cytometry
  • Other techniques that are less commonly used, e.g., fluorescence microscopy and enzyme-linked antiglobulin test
