Any ideas of what it could have been? I dont even know what to look for.  I imagine that it ould have to be something that has the same symptons as RH. In looking in my files the only thing I can find is RH antibody.  Could it have been a rare liver thing?  Another wierd thing is that my Kleihre Bietke stain was normal too. Help!!!!!
