NIPT Rh
Check your baby’s RhD status to avoid Rh disease
If a RhD-negative mother is pregnant with a RhD-positive child, it can lead to complications, known as Rh disease.
NIPT Rh checks the RhD status of your baby as early as week 10 of pregnancy. This will be the information for your doctor if you should proceed with the treatment to prevent the complications of Rh factor incompatibility.
If the NIPT Rh test indicates no risk, you can avoid unnecessary treatment with anti-D prophylaxis. However, if the test shows a risk, this information is essential for your doctor to manage your pregnancy effectively and take appropriate precautions.
NIPT Rh is only available as an add-on to your NIPT by GenePlanet test*.
*Available for all packages except Premium.

NIPT Rh is available for RhD-negative pregnant women.
What is Rh disease?
Complications due to Rh incompatibility are rare during a first pregnancy. Problems can arise in the second pregnancy if the woman is pregnant with another RhD-positive baby. In such cases, the mother’s immune system may produce antibodies that cross the placenta and attack the baby's red blood cells. This condition is known as Rh disease and can be life-threatening for the baby.
Rh disease is prevented with targeted anti-D prophylaxis.
