Patient's question:
Hello, the mother is O-negative, and the child is B-positive. An ABO hemolysis test was performed on the second day of birth, and the results showed: Rh: positive; Direct Antiglobulin Test: positive; Indirect Antiglobulin Test: positive; Release Test: positive. Is it confirmed as ABO hemolysis? The child is otherwise normal except for jaundice. Will the later treatment be cured once the jaundice subsides? Or do we need to retest the blood until all the above results are negative to confirm the cure?Doctor's answer:
Blue light is one of the seven composite rays of the sun, with a main wavelength peak of approximately 425-480 nm, and it is a type of light invisible to the naked eye. Blue light penetrates the surface of the human body more easily than other visible lights. Unconjugated bilirubin, under the action of light and oxygen, transforms into water-soluble isomers and is excreted from bile and urine, thereby reducing serum bilirubin. Neonatal pathological jaundice requires blue light treatment, which has no side effects on infants. It is important to pay attention to the duration of exposure and fluid supplementation. During the treatment, sensitive areas such as the eyes are covered.
