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 said it's a blood issue. What are the symptoms of hemolytic disease of the newborn?Doctor's answer:
The main clinical manifestations of neonatal hemolytic disease are jaundice and anemia. There is a need to improve the relevant tests for hemolysis to further clarify the condition. Treatment should be based on the severity of hemolysis. Mild hemolysis can be treated with blue light therapy to reduce bilirubin and prevent the recurrence of bilirubin encephalopathy. However, severe hemolysis requires the administration of exchange transfusion to avoid life-threatening complications for the baby.
