- It is important to remember the complication of hydrops has a poor prognosis of survival except for those cases that have a definite cause with established fetal treatment. (womans.org)
- Hemolytic disease of the newborn (HDN) used to be a major cause of fetal loss and death among newborn babies. (askhematologist.com)
- As a rule, serial maternal antibody titers are monitored until a critical titer of 1:32, which indicates that a high risk of fetal hydrops has been reached. (askhematologist.com)
- At this point, the fetus requires very intense monitoring for signs of anemia and fetal hydrops. (askhematologist.com)
- It is essential to understand the effect of medications and to know the point in fetal development when drugs are most toxic and which fetal organs are most susceptible. (medscape.com)
- Enzymatic studies in chorionic villous sample or amniotic cultured cells, once the most common conditions associated with fetal ascites or hydrops have been ruled out, are important. (biomedcentral.com)
- Hydrops fetalis is a serious fetal condition defined as an abnormal accumulation of fluid in two or more fetal compartments, including ascites, pleural and/or pericardial effusion, and skin edema. (biomedcentral.com)
- Hydrops fetalis has been a well-recognized fetal and neonatal condition throughout history. (biomedcentral.com)
- The precise incidence of hydrops fetalis is difficult to elucidate, because many cases are not detected prior to intrauterine fetal death and some cases may resolve spontaneously in utero. (biomedcentral.com)
Erythroblastosis5
- It's also called erythroblastosis fetalis. (cedars-sinai.org)
- This is called erythroblastosis fetalis during pregnancy. (cedars-sinai.org)

Neonatal1
- The current report describes a late preterm baby (36 weeks gestational age) with neonatal onset of interstitial lung disease eventually diagnosed as MPS I. The neonate required prolonged respiratory support and oxygen supplementation that further escalated the likely diagnosis of inherited disorders of pulmonary surfactant dysfunction. (mdpi.com)
Intrauterine1
- This is done to check if your baby needs an intrauterine blood transfusion. (cedars-sinai.org)
Ultrasound5
- A PUBS involved an amniocentesis where a needle is guided by ultrasound into the umbilical cord of the baby so that the blood can be sampled for testing and new blood may be transfused to restore the blood levels. (womans.org)

- If left untreated, it can lead to severe health complications, including organ damage and even death. (osmosis.org)
Mother's3
- The virus can infect unborn babies through their mother's blood. (diseasesdic.com)
- Immune hydrops occurs when the mother's immune system attacks the blood cells of the baby, leaving the baby anemic or with low blood count. (womans.org)
