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's a blood-related issue. I'm wondering if a child with O-type blood from an O-type mother and AB-type father could have ABO hemolysis, and what should I do about it?Doctor's answer:
In clinical diagnosis, ABO hemolysis tends to recur in families where the mother is type O blood and the father is non-O blood, with the baby being type A or B blood after birth. Therefore, your family's basic situation fits this scenario, and it is necessary to conduct a hemolysis test screening before delivery to prevent the birth of a baby with this disease. Alternatively, the use of anesthetic drugs or early treatment methods can also prevent the occurrence of hemolytic infants.
