Abo hemolysis is a common cause of neonatal jaundice, which is caused by blood type incompatibility between mother and infant. If hemolysis is mild, it may not manifest, but if hemolysis is severe, jaundice will be obvious and difficult to control. Many parents are anxious about this. So, what are the recovery indicators for ABO hemolytic jaundice?
Hemolytic jaundice in newborns can be cured, and most cases disappear within half a month. Because newborns constantly produce red blood cells that neutralize and lyse with antibodies transmitted from their mothers, once these antibodies are consumed, hemolysis will no longer occur.
Generally, babies with Abo jaundice in newborns will have a certain degree of jaundice from the second day of birth, and their head, face, chest, and abdomen will appear lemon yellow in color. At 4-6 days, jaundice becomes more severe, with a small peak appearing. Around 10 days after birth, the yellow color gradually fades and returns to normal. If the baby has not improved after about ten days and the condition is getting worse, then early use of light therapy and medication treatment is necessary to prevent the condition from becoming increasingly severe.
Many parents may be very unfamiliar with the phenomenon of Abo hemolytic jaundice in newborns, and newborns' bodies are also very fragile and prone to certain conditions. At this point, parents should promptly send their children to the hospital for treatment to avoid further deterioration of the condition due to prolonged exposure.
