Patient's question:
The child was born less than a month ago and was diagnosed with hemolytic disease at that time. The child's discipline was relatively poor, and they were treated at a pediatric hospital. At that time, there was no blood transfusion, but after going home, the child's condition improved significantly. However, recently the child has been suffering from severe anemia. I wonder if any doctor could offer some advice.Doctor's answer:
The principles of treatment for neonatal hemolysis are to correct anemia, prevent heart failure, reduce serum bilirubin levels, and prevent the occurrence of bilirubin encephalopathy. Light therapy and exchange transfusion are used. Correct anemia, supplement albumin, correct acidosis, and correct anemia. If the anemia is severe, blood transfusion therapy is required. The hospital you are visiting adopts standard therapy. Also, the incidence of this disease is relatively low. It is not an unusual disease, so please don't worry. Jaundice caused by neonatal hemolysis is not. What is are its complications. Bilirubin encephalopathy. The sequelae are very serious. However, if treated aggressively and controlled in the warning phase, the prognosis is still very good.
