What is the impact of OB hemolysis on newborns?

Patient's question:

I have been experiencing dizziness recently, and I can't eat properly either. My mental state isn't great either. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they said it was a blood-related issue. Could you please tell me what the impact of ob hemolysis is on newborns?

Doctor's answer:

This hemolysis often occurs again when the mother and fetus have incompatible blood types, with the mother being type O. In this combination, the child may again have higher bilirubin levels, which can easily lead to bilirubin encephalopathy. However, we actively treat the jaundice by providing blue light therapy. If blue light therapy cannot maintain the bilirubin levels, we can actively provide chemical treatment, which will never affect the baby's growth and development, allowing them to grow up healthily.
