    Extractions: 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 antibodies against the fetal blood cells. These anti-Rh antibodies may cross the placenta into the fetus, where they destroy the fetus' circulating red blood cells. First-born infants are often not affected (unless the mother has had previous miscarriages/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.

We were told that our son was jaundiced when we left the hospital and not to worry about a thing and follow up with our doctor in 2 weeks. His bilirubin levels were not tested before leaving the hospital. When we saw our family doctor when our son was 13 days old, we thought his jaundice was going away. His bilirubin level at 13 days was 29. We were told to go to NICU for phototherapy. The cause of our son's jaundice was breastmilk jaundice. At our 4 month check, our new pediatrician had concerns about our son's development. He's now 14 months old, has been diagnosed with kernicterus - damage resulting to the basal ganglia as a result of hyperbilirubinemia. He has athetoid cerebral palsy with fluctuating tone, as well as possible hearing problems and strabismus (eyes aren't working well together). This could have been prevented with a simple blood test before leaving the hospital and with being told to see our doctor within 1-3 days following discharge from the hospital. If the phototherapy would have been started sooner, I'm positive that our son would not be having the challenges that he is facing. We now know that large, breastfed boys should definitely have their bilirubin levels tested if they look jaundiced...I wish we knew then what we know now...

    Extractions: During pregnancy , red blood cells from the fetal circulation leak into the maternal circulation. If the mother is Rh negative, her system will not tolerate the presence of Rh positive cells. Her immune system treats the Rh positive fetal cells as if they were a foreign protein or substance and makes antibodies against the fetal blood cells. These anti-Rh positive antibodies move through the placenta into the fetus where they destroy the fetus' circulating red blood cells. First-born infants are often not affected (unless the mother has had previous interrupted pregnancies, which could have sensitized her system) as it takes time for the mother to develop antibodies against the fetal blood.

Causas, incidencia y factores de riesgo Volver al comienzo Durante el embarazo , los glóbulos rojos de la circulación fetal se mezclan con la circulación materna. Si la madre es Rh negativo, su organismo no tolerará la presencia de células Rh positivas. Su sistema inmunológico trata a las células Rh fetales positivas como si fuesen una proteína o sustancia extraña y crea anticuerpos contra las células sanguíneas fetales. Estos anticuerpos anti-Rh positivos se desplazan a través de la placenta hacia el feto y destruyen los glóbulos rojos circulantes. Por lo general, el primer hijo no se ve afectado (a menos que la madre haya tenido embarazos interrumpidos anteriormente, los cuales podrían haber sensibilizado su organismo), ya que toma tiempo que la madre desarrolle anticuerpos contra la sangre fetal. La incompatibilidad Rh puede causar síntomas que varían de muy leves a fatales. En su forma más leve, la incompatibilidad Rh causa

    kernicterus (JAUNDICE). Although we do not have very accurate numbers, it appearsthat we are seeing more cases of kernicterus now than were seen in the 1970s.

    Extractions: About the MRT Hot Topics Help Line E-News Fill Us In Contact ... Kudos Jaundice occurs when bilirubin, a yellow pigment normally produced by all infants, builds up in the baby's blood. The build up occurs because newborns usually produce more bilirubin than can be cleared by the developing liver. Some degree of jaundice occurs in almost every newborn infant but it is important to emphasize that in the overwhelming majority of these infants, jaundice is entirely benign. However, because a small fraction of infants (about 1-3 in 10,000) is at significant risk for developing very high bilirubin levels, all infants need to be monitored. Although we do not have very accurate numbers, it appears that we are seeing more cases of kernicterus now than were seen in the 1970s. In the 1940s and 50s kernicterus was a problem that was familiar to most pediatricians. With the introduction of new therapies and the ability to prevent Rh disease (when the mother's blood group is Rh negative and the baby is Rh positive), kernicterus became a rare event. Then in 1968 it was shown that simply placing babies under fluorescent light could lower their bilirubin levels and this treatment, known as phototherapy, is now used all over the world to treat jaundiced babies.
