Abstract |
Neonatal Hyperbilirubinemia due to ABO Incompatibility was contributed to Kemicterus in our
country.
We studied the difference between ABO compatible group and incompatible group, such as, day of
appearance of Hyperbilirubinemia, tendency of bilirubin concentration change, reticulocyte, hemoglo-
bin, and duration of Hyperbilirubinemia. As a result, clinical symptoms were more severe in incom-
patible group rather than compatible group.
And so, we stress to early diagnosis and treatment of hyperbilirubinemia due to ABO incompatibil-
ity for preventing Kemicterus. |
Key Words:
