Question
An O-negative blood pregnant woman inquires about how to improve her anti-A1:256 levels, as she was previously unaware of her fetal hemolytic disease issue, and now her doctor has informed her that this problem is severe and requires intervention.
Answer
The doctor points out that the higher the level of anti-A1:256, the more serious the issue. Normal levels are considered moderate at 32, 64, and 128, while 256 indicates a high level. The hospital will prescribe preventive medications for hemolytic disease, and the mother-to-be needs to consistently take them and undergo regular checks. If she does not adhere to the medication, the levels may change. Neonatal hemolytic disease is very serious and must be taken seriously. Consistent medication can control the levels and keep them below 64 or 128, which should not pose too much of a problem. The doctor suggests taking traditional Chinese medicine, although it tastes unpleasant, it must be persevered with for the baby’s health. If the level reaches 1:256, it may be necessary to increase the dosage of medication.
