This RhIG Dose Calculator has been designed as one resource for pathologists to help calculate the number of vials of Rh Immune Globulin (RhIG)to administer to an Rh-negative woman after the birth of an Rh-positive child. Use of this Calculator is voluntary and does not necessarily ensure a successful medical outcome. This Calculator should not be considered inclusive of all algorithms useful for calculating the necessary RhIG dose, or exclusive of other procedures and tests that are reasonably directed to obtaining the same results.

In determining the propriety of any specific algorithm, procedure or test, a pathologist should apply his or her own professional judgment to the specific clinical circumstances presented by the individual patient or specimen.

Pathologists are encouraged to document the reasons for the use of a particular algorithm, procedure or test, whether or not it is in conformance with this Calculator. Pathologists also are advised to take notice of the date this Calculator was published, and to consider other relevant medical and scientific information that becomes available after that date.
