Question
How to interpret neonatal hemolytic disease reports?
Answer
The most common type of neonatal hemolytic disease is ABO hemolytic disease, usually caused by the mother having O-type blood and the child having A or B-type blood. The main treatment method is blue light therapy, albumin transfusion, and surgery only when necessary. Generally, after 3 to 5 days, the baby can fully recover. If a child is diagnosed with neonatal hemolytic disease, parents should immediately take the child to the hospital for treatment and avoid self-medicating to alleviate symptoms. For parents, closely observing the child’s symptom changes is very important to help them receive timely treatment for the disease.
