Is hemolysis of the newborn common

summary

Not long after our baby was born, it was still in the hospital. When the doctor came for routine inspection, he found that something was wrong with the baby, so he carried out a detailed examination and found that the baby was a newborn with hemolysis, which caused jaundice. Now the hemolysis has been controlled. Today, let me tell you whether hemolytic disease of the newborn is very common.

Is hemolysis of the newborn common

First: hemolytic disease of the newborn refers to the congeneric immune hemolysis caused by the incompatibility of maternal and infant blood groups, which causes a large number of red blood cell damage in the fetus in utero or after birth, and a series of hemolytic anemia, jaundice and other clinical manifestations.

Second: the treatment of hemolytic anemia of the newborn is mainly divided into two aspects, one is to use drugs or irradiation to inhibit the hemolytic process, and change the structure of bilirubin, so that it can be excreted from the urine or prevent the combination with nerve tissue, so as to protect the function of nervous system. The second is to use Rh negative male blood to exchange for RH antibody and bilirubin in fetal body.

Third: due to maternal and infant blood group incompatibility, antibodies in maternal blood enter the blood circulation of the newborn and then destroy the red blood cells of the newborn, leading to hemolytic anemia. Clinically, the main manifestations are skin jaundice, severe edema and anemia at birth.

matters needing attention

Hemolytic disease of the newborn is more and more common, many parents do not understand the disease enough, leading to missed the best treatment period, so we should pay attention to the occurrence of bilirubin encephalopathy, pay attention to the sequelae, give rehabilitation treatment and nursing.
