Nait
Definition:
Example Sentences:
(1) Maternal alloimmunization against fetal platelets can cause fetal and neonatal thrombocytopenia (NAIT).

(3) There is evidence that in certain cases antibodies against blood group antigens A or B may cause NAIT.
(4) Recent evidence that NAIT is more common than has previously been recognised, a better understanding of the molecular basis of platelet serology and advances in technology, which have made it possible to take blood samples from fetuses and transfuse them in utero, have all contributed to a growing interest in this condition.
(5) Neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia (NAIT) is caused by platelet antigen incompatibility between the mother and fetus.
(6) Neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia (NAIT) occurs when maternal alloantibodies to antigens present on fetal platelets cause their immune destruction resulting in thrombocytopenia in the newborn infant or fetus.
