Congenital anaemia from fetal blood loss - what does this mean

Congenital anaemia from fetal blood loss is caused by the loss of large amounts of blood from the fetus during pregnancy, childbirth, or after delivery. this can be caused by various factors such as placental abruption, uterine rupture, premature separation of the placenta, or other medical complications. in some cases, the cause of the anaemia is unknown.

What happens during the disease - congenital anaemia from fetal blood loss

Congenital anaemia from fetal blood loss is caused by a decrease in the number of red blood cells in the fetus due to excessive bleeding. this can be due to an inherited disorder, such as hemophilia, or can be caused by a placental abnormality leading to increased bleeding from the placenta. in some cases, the cause of the fetal blood loss is unknown. whatever the cause, the result is a decrease in the number of red blood cells in the fetus, which can lead to a decrease in oxygen delivery to the fetus and, ultimately, to the development of congenital anaemia.

Main goal of the treatment: To replenish the body's lost red blood cells and hemoglobin and to prevent further fetal blood loss.
  • Administering iron supplements
  • Transfusing red blood cells
  • Administering erythropoietin (EPO) injections
  • Performing blood transfusions
  • Monitoring fetal oxygen levels
  • Providing nutritional support
  • Administering folic acid supplements
  • Monitoring fetal growth and development
  • Performing genetic testing

Congenital anaemia from fetal blood loss - Prevention

The prevention of congenital anaemia from fetal blood loss can be achieved through proper antenatal care, including regular checkups and monitoring of the mother's blood count and haemoglobin levels. additionally, timely interventions such as transfusions, if needed, can help reduce the risk of anaemia in the fetus.
