Patient's question:
My baby has had this for seven days now. Yesterday, I had a laboratory test, and it was found that there is ABO hemolytic disease. I would like to ask if this ABO hemolytic disease of newborns is serious? Can it be treated?Doctor's answer:
When a newborn is born, jaundice and hemolysis are common conditions, but severe hemolysis can lead to death. Therefore, it is crucial to pay close attention and seek treatment at a local large pediatric hospital promptly based on the baby's physical condition. The doctor will treat the baby according to its actual situation, and it is essential to monitor the baby's condition regularly. If treatment is delayed, it may lead to cerebral palsy. The condition will not develop into more severe consequences. Generally, babies with O-type blood are less likely to suffer from hemolysis.
