Question
If the mother is O-type blood, the father is A-type blood, and the baby is A-type with jaundice, how can one confirm whether it is ABO hemolytic disease?
Answer
To confirm whether it is ABO hemolytic disease, further tests are needed, including direct antiglobulin test, antibody release test, and free antibody test. Since your child currently has significant jaundice, it is recommended that you bring your child to the hospital for further confirmation of ABO hemolytic disease.
