Anaemia of prematurity - what does this mean
Anaemia of prematurity is a condition that affects premature infants and is caused by a decrease in the production of red blood cells due to a lack of iron in the body. it is typically caused by the baby's immature liver not being able to produce enough red blood cells, and can be exacerbated by blood loss during delivery.
What happens during the disease - anaemia of prematurity
Anaemia of prematurity is a condition in which premature infants have lower than normal levels of red blood cells. it is caused by an immature bone marrow that is unable to produce enough red blood cells to meet the needs of the infant. additionally, the premature infant may have higher than normal levels of iron loss due to gastrointestinal bleeding or inadequate iron intake. this can lead to an imbalance in the production of red blood cells, resulting in anaemia.

Anaemia of prematurity can be prevented by ensuring that preterm infants receive iron supplementation, as well as adequate nutrition, hydration, and close monitoring of hemoglobin levels. additionally, providing adequate antenatal care to pregnant women and monitoring of fetal growth is important for preventing preterm birth and, in turn, anaemia of prematurity.
