Free Fetal DNA Testing to Guide Early Intervention in the Management of the Kell Alloimmunized Pregnancy

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: Key Points Free fetal DNA can accurately be used to determine the fetal red cell genotype. A false positive elevation of the middle cerebral artery peak systolic velocity can occur in the early second trimester in a red cell alloimmunized pregnancy. In most cases, fetal intrauterine transfusions should be limited to pregnancies with a documented positive fetal genotype for the involved antigen.
