Neonatal jaundice due to other specified excessive haemolysis - what does this mean
Neonatal jaundice due to other specified excessive haemolysis is a condition in which the newborn baby has an abnormally high level of bilirubin in the blood due to the excessive breakdown of red blood cells. this breakdown is caused by a variety of factors, such as certain infections, inherited blood disorders, or the baby's inability to process the red blood cells properly.
What happens during the disease - neonatal jaundice due to other specified excessive haemolysis
Neonatal jaundice due to other specified excessive haemolysis is a condition caused by an increased rate of red blood cell destruction, resulting in an accumulation of bilirubin in the body. this excessive haemolysis can be caused by a variety of factors, including inherited disorders, infections, and certain medications. the increased red blood cell destruction leads to the release of haemoglobin, which is then broken down into unconjugated bilirubin, which is then further metabolized into conjugated bilirubin. the accumulation of this bilirubin in the body then leads to the yellowish discoloration of the skin, known as jaundice.
Neonatal jaundice due to other specified excessive haemolysis - Prevention
Neonatal jaundice due to other specified excessive haemolysis can be prevented by avoiding any exposure of the baby to infectious agents, providing adequate nutrition and hydration, and monitoring for signs of jaundice. early diagnosis and treatment of any underlying conditions can also help to prevent this condition.
