Are You Aware of the Hidden Code in Your Blood?

I’ve seen many patients who are unaware of their Rhesus (Rh) factor. But what exactly is Rh factor, and why is it crucial for your health?

What is Rh Factor?
Rh factor is a protein found on the surface of red blood cells. It’s named after the Rhesus monkey, in which it was first discovered. If you have the protein, you’re Rh-positive; if you don’t, you’re Rh-negative.

Importance of Rh Factor
Understanding your Rh factor is vital, especially during pregnancy and blood transfusions. Incompatible Rh factors can lead to serious health complications.

Brief History of Rh Factor Discovery
In 1939, Karl Landsteiner and Alexander Wiener discovered the Rh factor. They found that the blood of Rhesus monkeys reacted with the blood of some humans, leading to the identification of the Rh protein.

Rh factor is a critical aspect of our blood type, and understanding it can help prevent serious health complications. Stay tuned for the next post to learn more about Rh positive and Rh negative blood types!
