How Are Neonatal Disorders Related to IgG Antibodies Diagnosed?
Diagnosis of neonatal disorders related to IgG antibodies involves several steps, including maternal and neonatal blood tests. These tests can identify specific antibodies and assess their levels. For instance, in the case of HDN, a Coombs test (direct antiglobulin test) can detect antibodies attached to the neonate's red blood cells. Similarly, platelet counts and antibody screening can help diagnose NAIT.
