Absence or low individual and public risk
Neonatal jaundice due to excessive haemolysis, unspecified - what does this mean
Neonatal jaundice due to excessive haemolysis, unspecified is a condition in which an infant's red blood cells are broken down at a faster rate than normal, leading to the accumulation of bilirubin in the bloodstream. this can cause the baby's skin and eyes to become yellow in colour, a condition known as jaundice.
What happens during the disease - neonatal jaundice due to excessive haemolysis, unspecified
Neonatal jaundice due to excessive haemolysis is caused by an abnormally rapid breakdown of red blood cells in the newborn's body. this excessive destruction of red blood cells leads to an abnormally high level of bilirubin, a yellow pigment, in the baby's blood and tissues, resulting in the yellowing of the skin and eyes, known as jaundice. the cause of the excessive haemolysis can be due to a number of factors, such as an inherited disorder, an infection, or an incompatibility between the mother and baby's blood.
Clinical Pattern

How does a doctor diagnose
- Complete blood count (CBC) to measure the levels of red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets
- Blood smear to examine the shape of red blood cells
- Direct and indirect bilirubin tests to measure the levels of bilirubin in the blood
- Hemoglobin electrophoresis to measure the types of hemoglobin in the blood
- Urine analysis to measure the levels of bilirubin in the urine
- Liver function tests to measure the levels of liver enzymes in the blood
- Ultrasound to examine the liver and gallbladder
- Genetic testing to identify any genetic mutations that may be causing the excessive haemolysis
Treatment and Medical Assistance
Main goal of the treatment: To reduce the bilirubin levels and prevent any associated complications.
- Administer phototherapy
- Administer intravenous immunoglobulin
- Administer exchange transfusions
- Monitor bilirubin levels
- Monitor the baby for any signs of complications
- Administer oral medications to reduce haemolysis
- Monitor the baby's hydration status
- Provide nutrition support
- Provide supportive care
12 Days of Hospitalization Required
Average Time for Outpatient Care Not Established
Neonatal jaundice due to excessive haemolysis, unspecified - Prevention
Neonatal jaundice due to excessive haemolysis, unspecified can be prevented through proper prenatal care, including regular monitoring of the mother and baby's health, as well as avoiding activities that could potentially cause haemolysis. additionally, it is important to ensure that the baby is adequately hydrated and receives adequate nutrition to support healthy development.
