Hemolytic Disease of the Newborn: Disease in Baby
-
Hemolytic disease of the newborn is a blood disorder that occurs in a fetus or a newborn baby. Normally, red blood cells live in the body for about 120 days. However, in this condition, red blood cells in the blood are destroyed earlier than normal. Jaundice, swelling under the surface of the skin, and an enlarged liver or spleen are some of the symptoms. The condition is sometimes life-threatening. The condition can be detected and treated before birth, but various treatments are also available after birth. Finally, it is possible to prevent this disease if the mother is tested and treated during pregnancy.
