What is the risk of neonatal hemolytic disease when an O-type mother is paired with an A-type father? Is a fasting blood glucose level of 4.45 normal?
Answers
Case Analysis: There is indeed a risk of neonatal hemolytic disease when an O-type mother is combined with an A-type father. However, whether it will occur needs to be determined through the test of antibody titer. A fasting blood glucose level of 4.45 falls within the normal range. Guidance: Both partners should go to the obstetrics and gynecology clinic for blood tests to check the IgG antibody titer, and the mother needs to fast. If the titer is below 1:64, there is usually no problem. If the titer is too high, oral Yinzhi Huang can be taken for prevention. Once a child is diagnosed with neonatal hemolytic disease, immediate medical treatment should be sought to avoid delaying the condition. Parents should closely monitor their child’s symptom changes to provide timely symptomatic treatment.
