Abstract
Neonatal hyperbilirubinemia (NH) is a universal problem affecting nearly 60% of term and 80% of preterm neonates during first week of life. Early discharge of healthy term newborns is a common practice because of medical, social and economic constraints. In significant number of babies, NH is a cause of readmission. The present study was conducted to early prediction of NH in newborns that have ABO incompatibility by using cord blood. Patient&Methods · 40 healthy full-term newborn infants born to blood group 0 mothers delivered at Obstetrics department of Tanta University Hospital will be studied and divided into four groups as follow. Group 1 consisted of 10 newborn infants with blood group A or B with hyperbilirubinemia Group 2 consisted of 10 newborn infants with blood group A or B withouthyperbilirubinemia as control Group 3 consisted of 10 newborn infants with blood group 0 with hyperbilirubinemia Group 4 consisted of 10 newborn infants with blood group 0 without hyperbilirubinemia as control.
