Question
What should be taken into account with neonatal hemolytic disease?
Answer
Phototherapy is the simplest and most effective method to lower serum bilirubin levels. Phototherapy should be initiated promptly once the serum bilirubin reaches the phototherapy standard. The phototherapy standard is determined based on different gestational ages, different ages, and whether there are complications, with different phototherapy standards established. Early administration of intravenous gamma globulin has better clinical effects. Albumin increases the binding of free bilirubin, reducing the occurrence of bilirubin encephalopathy. Severe early anemia often results in high serum bilirubin levels and requires exchange transfusion.
