Alternative Names: Kernicterus; Rh-induced hemolytic disease of the newborn; Hydrops fetalis Causes, incidence, and risk factors: During pregnancy, red blood cells from the fetus can get into the mother's bloodstream as she nourishes her child through the placenta. If the mother is Rh negative, her system cannot tolerate the presence of Rh positive red blood cells. In such cases, the mother's immune system treats the Rh positive fetal cells as if they were a foreign substance and makes

Alternative Names Rh-induced hemolytic disease of the newborn; Hydrops fetalis Causes During pregnancy, red blood cells from the fetus can get into the mother's bloodstream as she nourishes her child through the placenta. If the mother is Rh-negative, her system cannot tolerate the presence of Rh-positive red blood cells. In such cases, the mother's immune system treats the Rh-positive fetal cells as if they were a foreign substance and makes antibodies against the fetal blood cells. These anti-Rh antibodies may cross the placenta into the fetus, where they destroy the fetus's circulating red blood cells. First-born infants are often not affected unless the mother has had previous miscarriages or abortions, which could have sensitized her system as it takes time for the mother to develop antibodies against the fetal blood. However, second children who are also Rh-positive may be harmed. Rh incompatibility can cause symptoms ranging from very mild to fatal. In its mildest form, Rh incompatibility causes hemolysis (destruction of the red blood cells) with the release of free

There is an increased risk shortly after birth for children of insulin dependent mothers, babies with growth retardation, preterm and asphyxiated infants. Doctors often do not recognize the symptoms of neonatal hypoglycaemia and as a result do not take appropriate action to prevent brain damage.

UMDNJ-RWJMS Department of Pediatrics NEONATAL JAUNDICE Approximately 60 percent of newborn babies develop a yellowish coloration of the skin, which is the result of deposition of bilirubin (a yellow pigment). In most newborn babies, jaundice is a normal (physiological) event usually seen around the second or third day of life. It disappears after a few days, often without any special treatment. Risk Factors for High Bilirubin Levels High bilirubin level prior to hospital discharge Jaundice observed in the first 24 hours Blood group incompatibility Gestational age less than 37 weeks Previous sibling received phototherapy/family history of jaundice East Asian ethnicity Presence of bruising or cephalhematoma However, high bilirubin levels can occur in babies without these risk factors, and they occur after the infant is discharged from the hospital. Dangers of High Bilirubin The early symptoms of brain injury are poor feeding, decreased alertness, alteration of muscle tone, and a high-pitched cry. Later symptoms of bilirubin toxicity include shrill cry, inability to feed, mild or deep stupor, abnormal or uncoordinated movements, visual or hearing abnormalities and dental enamel defects.

en Todo LatinSalud Enfermedades Maternidad Sexualidad Adicciones Medicina y salud Deportes y bienestar Salud mental Ud. debe saber... Hombres Mujeres Ancianos Noticias Definición (*) Kernicterus es un tipo de daño cerebral que causa pérdida de la audición y parálisis cerebral atetoide, daño cerebral que causa movimiento incontrolable de la cara, el cuerpo, los brazos y las piernas. También causa problemas de la visión y la dentadura, y a veces puede producir retardo mental. Cuando se produce demasiada concentración de bilirrubina en el cuerpo de un recién nacido, la piel y la parte blanca de los ojos se vuelven amarillentos. Esta coloración se denomina ictericia. Cuando los glóbulos rojos mueren, se descomponen y queda la bilirrubina. Es normal que cada día mueran algunos glóbulos rojos. En los recién nacidos, el hígado puede no estar suficientemente desarrollado para eliminar rápidamente tanta bilirrubina. La ictericia es muy común en los recién nacidos y por lo general desaparece sola. Un grado mínimo de ictericia no representa un problema, pero en algunos casos, de no mediar tratamiento, los elevados niveles de bilirrubina pueden dañar el cerebro. Si bien cualquier bebé que no ha recibido tratamiento contra la ictericia corre el riesgo de contraer kernicterus, esto no significa que todos los niños con piel amarillenta presenten daño cerebral. Gran parte de los bebés con ictericia se recuperan solos. Si su piel está muy amarillenta, podrían necesitar tratamiento de fototerapia. Si la fototerapia no disminuye los niveles de bilirrubina del bebé, éste puede necesitar una transfusión.

Cosmetic Surgery CONTACT FORM Name Address 1 Address 2 Address 3 Home Tel Work Tel Mobile Tel Email Negligence Date Negligence Details Injury NEONATAL HYPOGLYCAEMIA HIP DYSPLASIA AND KERNICTERUS There are a number of neonatal medical conditions that may arise shortly after a child is born that if not treated quickly and effectively can place the child at serious risk of permanent disability or even death. Healthcare professionals including consultants, doctors, midwives and nurses should be vigilant in the early part of a child’s life and should be aware of the warning signs of these problems. Failure to act appropriately and in a timely manner may mean that they are negligent and liable to pay compensation for any harm suffered by the child as a result of their inaction. Most children will qualify for full Legal Aid, with no financial contribution, to take action for damages. Only the child's income if any is taken into account even though the parents may have considerable income and assets. Some of the most serious neonatal conditions that give rise to claims for compensation include: Hip Dysplasia Neonatal Hypoglycaemia is a condition that results in lower than normal concentrations of glucose in an infants blood stream which can cause damage to the brain and subsequent impairment. Certain children are at increased risk during the early hours and days after birth including infants of insulin dependent mothers, infants with growth retardation, pre-term and asphyxiated infants. Whilst doctors often recognise babies as ‘hypoglycaemic’ from basic test results, if the symptoms of neonatal hypoglycaemia are not present they often do not recognise the extent to which the child is suffering and as a result do not take appropriate action to prevent brain damage.
