Question

How to analyze the ABO neonatal hemolytic disease test report?

Answer

The test results show that the maternal blood type is O, with a negative irregular antibody and a hemolysin titer of 8 (reference range < 4), and an IgG antibody titer of 256 (reference range < 64). Based on these results, both the hemolysin titer and the IgG antibody titer of the mother are above the normal range, indicating a potential risk of hemolytic disease in the fetus. Generally, ABO incompatibility between mother and baby is common, but fetal hemolysis is relatively rare, and even if it occurs, symptoms are usually mild. It is advised that patients should not worry too much and should receive appropriate treatment. Treatment suggestions include using traditional Chinese medicine like Yin Chen Hua decoction, as well as comprehensive treatment including oxygen therapy, intravenous injection of glucose and vitamin C, and oral vitamin E.
