Patient's question:
What should be paid attention to in the diet for newborn hemolytic disease?Doctor's answer:
Hello,Hemolytic disease of the newborn refers to hemolysis caused by an immune reaction between mother and fetus due to incompatible blood types. The immune antibody IgG in the mother's blood enters the fetal circulation through the placenta, leading to an immune response that destroys fetal and newborn red blood cells.
Prenatal treatment options include plasma exchange for the pregnant woman, intrauterine blood transfusion, and considering early delivery. Postnatal treatment includes exchange transfusion, phototherapy, correcting anemia, and symptomatic treatment.
Additionally, active treatment and management of jaundice are necessary to prevent complications.
