dc.description.abstractTwo point six million stillbirths occur annually with the majority of cases being from low to middle‐income countries (LMICS) of Sub‐Saharan Africa. Infections, placental disorders, asphyxia obstructive birth, poor antenatal care and immune‐mediated complications are amongst the top contributors of stillbirths in LMICs. Foetal maternal haemorrhage (FMH) is associated with poor pregnancy outcomes such as maternal alloimmunisation, foetal anaemia, haemolytic disease of the foetus and new‐born (HDFN) and stillbirths. Although maternal response to FMH is poorly understood, aggravated inflammatory response is suggested and its impact on organ function remains elusive. Therefore, this study primarily aimed to determine whether FMH is associated with inflammation, maternal alloimmunisation and altered hepatorenal function.en_US
