Is it necessary to fast for the ABO hemolysis test?

Patient's question:

My baby is a premature child, and I was very concerned about the child's condition from the beginning. Recently, the child has experienced a series of conditions, and I am also very worried, afraid that the child's condition will worsen. Do I have to fast for the ABO hemolysis test?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, physiological jaundice in newborns generally does not require special treatment. Proper rest and care can help it resolve on its own over time. If it does not improve, phototherapy may be considered. The child is affected by a newborn disease, so family members must take the child to a doctor immediately for treatment to avoid various misunderstandings. Timely and appropriate treatment is essential. For parents, it is important to provide the child with enough care and attention and to do everything possible to help the child receive timely medical treatment.
