Patient's question:
My baby is a premature child, and I was very worried about the child's condition from the beginning. Recently, the child has had a series of issues, and I am very concerned, afraid that the condition will worsen. How should I care for a newborn with hemolytic disease?Doctor's answer:
Hemolytic disease often occurs in women who experienced threatened miscarriage in the early stages of pregnancy or in those who are pregnant with their second child. If a woman with a history of unexplained stillbirth, miscarriage, or severe neonatal jaundice plans to have another child, she should undergo ABO and Rh blood type testing along with her husband in advance to check for anti-A and anti-B antibodies in their bodies. This test can be conducted in large general hospitals or major blood banks.
