An Anti-A IgG titer measures the concentration of Anti-A IgG antibodies in the blood. These antibodies target the A antigen on red blood cells and are significant in various clinical contexts. Here are the key aspects: 1. **Blood Transfusions**: Determines compatibility between donor and recipient blood types, particularly important for individuals with blood type O, who may have Anti-A antibodies. 2. **Hemolytic Disease of the Newborn (HDN)**: Assesses the risk and severity of HDN in newborns, where maternal Anti-A antibodies might cross the placenta and attack the fetal red blood cells if there is a blood type incompatibility. 3. **Autoimmune Disorders**: Evaluates the presence and level of Anti-A IgG antibodies that might indicate an autoimmune condition where the body produces antibodies against its own red blood cells. 4. **Organ Transplants**: Helps assess compatibility in organ transplantation, particularly in ABO-incompatible transplants, to reduce the risk of antibody-mediated rejection. In summary, the Anti-A IgG titer provides critical information for safe blood transfusions, managing HDN, diagnosing autoimmune conditions, and assessing transplant compatibility.
