A member asked:
Are there any major complications to hemolytic disease of the newborn on the baby?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: Hemolytic disease of the newborn can result in significant jaundice and/or anemia, either of which may require emergency medical intervention. Even when the jaundice subsides, the infant is at risk for anemia for the first several weeks of life.
