ABSTRACT
Background: Hemolytic disease of the newborn (HDN) refers to the perinatal effects
of fetal maternal erythrocyte isoimmunization that leads to an immune reaction
allowing lysis of these cells.
Objective: To describe the clinical and epidemiological profile of patients with HDN
treated in a university hospital during the 2014-2018 period.
Materials and methods:
Observational, descriptive, retrospective, cross-sectional study that included neonates
with EHRN and their mothers. A non-probabilistic sampling of consecutive cases was
carried out.
Results: 216 newborns diagnosed with HDN were included, with a mean gestational
age of 38.1±2.18 weeks. Blood group A predominated in the neonate with 62.5%
and group O in the mother with 88.4%. Regarding the clinical presentation, 85.1%
of the patients presented jaundice, 86.4% received phototherapy and only 1.4% had
complications.
Conclusion: The HDN in this study shows jaundice as the most frequent sign, allowing
a diagnosis generally in the first 48 hours postpartum and an effective and timely
intervention. It was identified that a large part of the population required phototherapy
and red blood cell transfusions for their treatment to avoid later complications.
