Abo hemolytic disease of a newborn. 24 hrs old. baby was given ivig and bilirubin came down from 17.05 to 14.19. at what point do we know the baby will be okay? can the bilirubin get higher again? thank you.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
time/monitoring: Most of these kids have a brief issue with moderate elevations in bilirubin in the first first few days, but may face anemia days and weeks down the road.I remember a single ABO kid needing a transfusion at 6 weeks when this issue arose in 3 decades as a pediatrician.
