Neonatal jaundice due to swallowed maternal blood - what does this mean
Neonatal jaundice due to swallowed maternal blood occurs when the baby swallows a large amount of maternal blood during delivery. this can lead to a high level of bilirubin in the baby's blood, which is a yellow pigment that is produced when red blood cells are broken down. this can cause the baby's skin and eyes to appear yellow, a condition known as jaundice.
What happens during the disease - neonatal jaundice due to swallowed maternal blood
Neonatal jaundice due to swallowed maternal blood is caused by the presence of fetal red blood cells in the infant's circulation. these cells are broken down in the infant's liver, resulting in an increased production of bilirubin which is then excreted in the bile. this bilirubin is then reabsorbed into the bloodstream, leading to an accumulation of the pigment in the skin and other tissues, resulting in the characteristic yellowing of the skin and eyes known as jaundice.

How does a doctor diagnose
- Complete physical examination
- Blood tests to measure bilirubin levels
- Urine tests to measure levels of urobilinogen
- Ultrasound to assess liver and spleen size
- Reticulocyte count to measure the rate of red blood cell production
- Coagulation studies to measure clotting factors
- Genetic testing to identify any underlying conditions
- Examination of stool samples to detect blood in the stool
Treatment and Medical Assistance
Main Goal: Treat Neonatal Jaundice due to Swallowed Maternal Blood
- Monitor the infant's bilirubin levels and adjust light therapy accordingly.
- Administer phototherapy to reduce bilirubin levels in the infant's blood.
- Administer intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) to reduce the amount of maternal antibodies in the infant's bloodstream.
- Monitor the infant's blood glucose levels and administer glucose if necessary.
- Administer exchange transfusions to reduce the amount of bilirubin in the infant's blood.
- Administer antibiotics to prevent infection.
- Monitor the infant's vital signs and provide supportive care.
- Provide nutrition to the infant to help with recovery.
- Provide education to the parents on the signs and symptoms of jaundice.
