Fetus and newborn affected by placental transfusion syndromes - what does this mean

Placental transfusion syndromes occur when there is an imbalance in the exchange of blood between the mother and the fetus through the placenta. this can happen due to a number of factors, such as premature rupture of the membranes, placental insufficiency, or a difference in blood pressure between the mother and the fetus. as a result, the fetus or newborn can be affected by a range of conditions, including anemia, polycythemia, hyperbilirubinemia, and other complications.

What happens during the disease - fetus and newborn affected by placental transfusion syndromes

Placental transfusion syndromes occur when an abnormal connection between the umbilical cord and the placenta allows blood to flow from the fetus to the placenta or vice versa. this abnormal connection causes an imbalance of blood flow between the fetus and the placenta, leading to an overload of red blood cells in the fetus and/or a deficit of red blood cells in the newborn. this can lead to a variety of complications, including anemia, jaundice, hydrops fetalis, and fetal death.
