This report highlights a rare case of Rh isoimmunization leading to fetal anemia in a 26-year-old female and evaluates the impact of intrauterine transfusion (IUT) in terms of the gestational age at delivery along with the mode of delivery, procedural complications, and overall survival rate of the fetus. In conclusion, the most frequent cause of fetal anemia is Rh alloimmunization, which should be taken into consideration while making a differential diagnosis throughout the assessment. Improvements in IUT procedures and earlier detection of the MCA-PSV by Doppler ultrasonographic examination have also contributed to better results.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4103\/jfmpc.jfmpc_1705_23","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,14]],"date-time":"2024-06-14T06:19:16Z","timestamp":1718345956000},"page":"2507-2510","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Maternal
