Patient's question:
I am type O blood. During my pregnancy, I did not go to the hospital for a thorough check-up on hemolysis function. Now my son has been born, but he was diagnosed with neonatal ABO hemolytic disease. I would like to consult a doctor. Can neonatal ABO hemolysis heal on its own?Doctor's answer:
Low possibility of self-healing, cannot wait for self-healing, active treatment is required. ABO hemolysis can lead to fetal anemia, heart enlargement, liver and spleen enlargement, and cause jaundice in newborns again. Indirect bilirubin can cross the blood-brain barrier, causing the brain nerve nucleus to turn yellow, interfering with intellectual development and neurological function. However, as long as ABO hemolysis is detected and treated in time, it can be completely cured.
