Patient's question:
My blood type is RH negative B, and my husband is A positive. At 26 weeks of pregnancy, the doctor at the hospital where I first registered for prenatal care recommended a prenatal test for neonatal hemolytic disease. Blood samples from both of us were sent to the Beijing Red Cross Blood Center for testing (it is said that all pregnant women with RH negative blood type are sent there for hemolytic disease testing).Doctor's answer:
Analysis of the condition: Hemolysis is mainly a problem related to the Rh blood type. It does not occur in other blood types.Suggestions: It is generally not seen when giving birth to the first child. The most concern is that it may appear in the second child, causing the baby to suffer from neonatal hemolytic disease. Therefore, the mother must take the child to seek immediate medical treatment to avoid blindly using medication to alleviate symptoms. For parents, it is important to closely observe changes in the child's symptoms and do their best to help the child receive timely treatment for the disease.
