Question

How should anemia be treated after blood exchange surgery for a baby with ABO hemolytic disease?

Answer

After blood exchange surgery for ABO hemolytic disease, anemia will gradually recover as the hemolysis is corrected. During this period, normal breastfeeding or artificial feeding can be adopted, and there is no need to add additional blood-replenishing foods. This is because a 44-day-old baby has a weaker digestive capacity and may not be able to fully absorb certain substances.
