Jaundice is a common disease in newborns, and it can be divided into many types. ABO hemolytic jaundice is a common type of jaundice. Once this type of jaundice occurs, it must be taken seriously and treated promptly to ensure the effectiveness of treatment. So, how to treat ABO hemolytic jaundice?
Most treatments can be achieved through phototherapy. When serum bilirubin reaches the phototherapy standard, phototherapy should be performed in a timely manner. Phototherapy is the simplest and most effective way to reduce serum bilirubin. Some severe cases, such as rapid elevation of bilirubin or 340 mol/L, also require blood exchange therapy. When anemia is obvious, appropriate blood transfusion can be administered, and early use of medication has good clinical effects.
If diagnosed and treated early, hemolytic jaundice and anemia caused by ABO hemolysis are rarely severe and can be cured. If jaundice is severe, there is a risk of nuclear jaundice, which may cause damage to the baby's brain. As long as there is no jaundice, don't worry, early treatment can effectively reduce the occurrence of sequelae.
Neonatal ABO hemolytic jaundice usually disappears within half a month after birth. The symptoms of hemolytic infants vary from mild to severe, and some can be cured without treatment. In general, the symptoms of ABO blood type hemolysis are very mild. Most children do not require special treatment after birth. As long as they receive timely blue light irradiation and medication treatment, their condition will be relieved.
