Patient's question:
What should be paid attention to in the diet for neonatal hemolytic disease?Doctor's answer:
Hello, neonatal hemolytic disease refers to hemolysis caused by the immune antibody IgG in the mother's blood, which is incompatible with the mother and fetus's blood type. This IgG antibody passes through the placenta into the fetal circulation, triggering an immune response that leads to the destruction of fetal and neonatal red blood cells.Preterm treatment options include plasma exchange for the pregnant woman, intrauterine blood transfusion, and considering early delivery. Postnatal treatment includes exchange transfusion, blue light therapy, correcting anemia, and symptomatic treatment.
Additionally, active treatment and management of jaundice are necessary to prevent complications.
