Question
My child has undergone a series of tests. Please explain how to interpret the newborn hemolytic disease report? What are the results?
Answer
Without seeing your report, the most common is ABO hemolytic disease, which is caused by the mother being O-type and the child being A-type or B-type blood. The main treatment is to use blue light therapy, administer albumin, and perform surgery if necessary. Generally, within three to five days, the baby will completely recover. Since the child is affected by newborn hemolytic disease, it is crucial for mothers to bring their child for immediate medical treatment and avoid using medication blindly to alleviate symptoms. For parents, it is important to closely observe any changes in the child’s condition and do everything possible to help the child receive timely treatment for the disease.
