Hemolytic Disease of the Newborn
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Hemolytic disease of the newborn occurs when the baby's red blood cells are destroyed prematurely, often due to a blood incompatibility between the mother and the baby. This can affect bilirubin levels and the amount of red blood cells.
How it can present: yellowish coloring of the skin and eyes (jaundice), paleness, or lethargy in the newborn.
When is evaluation important? Jaundice that appears very early or intensifies requires medical attention, since it needs close follow-up.
Specialists involved: the neonatologist and the pediatrician provide the initial care, and the pediatric hematologist and the pediatric nephrologist participate according to the baby's needs. If your baby shows these signs, seeking timely medical care is the best decision for its care.
