Patient's question:
I have been experiencing dizziness recently, and I can't eat properly either. My mental state isn't great either. The hospital check-up revealed a blood-related issue. What should I do if my baby has ABO hemolytic disease?Doctor's answer:
ABO hemolysis is a disease that newborn babies can get. The severity of the condition depends on the extent of hemolysis. It generally leads to jaundice, and some may also experience anemia. If the jaundice is severe, blue light therapy is needed to treat it. In necessary cases, blood transfusion may be required. Additionally, immunoglobulin should be administered to block antibodies and prevent further anemia. If the anemia is significant, surgery may be necessary to supplement red blood cells and hemoglobin. This condition cannot be ignored, as the longer it is left untreated, the greater the potential harm it may cause.
