    Anemia

    Uploaded by

    Newborn anemia can be caused by hemorrhagic, hemolytic, or hypoplastic anemia. Hemorrhagic anemia is due to blood loss and can be caused by obstetric trauma, coagulation disorders, or vitamin K deficiency. Hemolytic anemia involves the destruction of red blood cells and can be immune-mediated, infectious, or due to inherited disorders. Hypoplastic anemia results from bone marrow failure and includes conditions like Diamond-Blackfan syndrome. Presentations include jaundice, pallor, hepatosplenomegaly, and neurologic signs depending on the underlying cause. Management involves blood transfusions, nutritional support, and prophylaxis

    ANEMIA

    WHAT IS NEWBORN ANEMIA?

    • A baby who has decrease in number of rbc or less hemoglobin.


    HEMORRHAGIC ANEMIA

    • Neonatal period
    • Enclosed hemorrhage: suggests obstetric trauma or severe
    perinatal distress
    • Caput succedaneum, cephalhematoma, intracranial hemorrhage,
    visceral hemorrhage
    • Defects in hemostasis
    • Congenital coagulation factor deficiency
    • Consumption coagulopathy: DIC, sepsis
    • Vitamin K dependent factor deficiency
    • Failure to give vit K causes bleeding at 3-4 days of age
    • Thrombocytopenia: immune, or congenital with absent radii
    • Iatrogenic blood loss due to blood draws
    HEMOLYTIC ANEMIA

    • Immune hemolysis: Rh incompatibility or


    autoimmune hemolysis
    • Nonimmune: sepsis, TORCH infection
    • Congenital erythrocyte defect
    • G6PD, thalassemia, unstable hemoglobins, membrane
    defects (hereditary spherocytosis, elliptocytosis)
    • Systemic diseases: galactosemia, osteopetrosis
    • Nutritional deficiency: vitamin E presents later
    PRESENTATION OF HEMOLYTIC ANEMIA

    • Jaundice is usually the first symptom


    • Compensatory reticulocytosis
    • Pallor presents after 48 hours of age
    • Unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia of > 10-12 mg/dL
    • Tachypnea and hepatosplenomegaly may be present
    HYPOPLASTIC ANEMIA

    • Congenital
    • Diamond-Blackfan syndrome, congenital leukemia, sideroblastic
    anemia
    • Acquired
    • Infection: Rubella and syphilis are the most common
    • Aplastic crisis, aplastic anemia
    PRESENTATION OF HYPOPLASTIC
    ANEMIA
    • Uncommon
    • Presents after 48 hours of age
    • Absence of jaundice
    • Reticulocytopenia
    PRESENTATION OF OTHER FORMS

    • Twin-twin transfusion
    • Growth failure in the anemic twin, often > 20%
    • Occult internal hemorrhage
    • Intracranial: bulging anterior fontanelle and neurologic
    signs (altered mental status, apnea, seizures)
    • Visceral hemorrhage: most often liver is damaged and leads
    to abdominal mass
    • Pulmonary hemorrhage: radiographic opacification of a
    hemithorax with bloody tracheal secretions
    MANAGEMENT

    • Simple replacement transfusion


    • Exchange transfusion
    • Nutritional replacement: iron, folate, vitamin E
    • Prophylactic management with erythropoietin
