Patient's question:
Since getting pregnant, I have been to the hospital many times for ultrasound examinations. The doctor said that the baby's growth and development in all aspects are relatively normal and good. He also mentioned that some blood tests for hemolysis should be done, but I don't know when to go for them. When should the hemolysis test be done?Doctor's answer:
When to perform neonatal hemolysis specifically depends mainly on following the doctor's instructions. Generally speaking, neonatal hemolysis should be carried out around four months of pregnancy to establish a baseline level of antibodies. Subsequently, it should be measured once a month, every two weeks from the 7th to 8th month of pregnancy, and once a week after the 8th month. Pay attention to the principle of eating small, frequent meals to prevent overeating, and avoid spicy foods.
