Hemorrhagic Disease of the Newborn
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Hemorrhagic disease of the newborn is a clotting disorder that can present in the first days of life, related to low levels of vitamin K, a substance needed for blood to clot properly. For this reason, the baby's body may have a greater tendency to bleed.
Signs to observe: Unusual bleeding, for example from the umbilical cord, the nose, the digestive tract, or the skin.
Which specialist cares for it? The neonatologist and the pediatrician support the newborn, and the pediatric hematologist may join when there are clotting disorders.
When to seek care? If a newborn shows bleeding or bruising with no apparent cause, it is important that a professional evaluate it immediately to guide care.
