  2. Fetal hemoglobin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fetal_hemoglobin

    At birth, hemoglobin F accounts for 50-95% of the infant's hemoglobin and at around 6 months after birth, hemoglobin A becomes the predominant type. By the time the baby is one year old, the proportions of different types of hemoglobin are expected to approximate the adult levels, with hemoglobin F reduced to very low levels. [4]

  3. Anemia of prematurity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anemia_of_prematurity

    These reactions are the most frequent symptoms of anemia in very low birth weight infants. [8] During the first weeks of life, all infants experience a decline in circulating red blood cell (RBC) volume generally expressed as blood hemoglobin concentration (Hb). [9]

  4. Blue baby syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_baby_syndrome

    Blue baby syndrome can refer to conditions that cause cyanosis, or blueness of the skin, in babies as a result of low oxygen levels in the blood. This term has traditionally been applied to cyanosis as a result of:. [1] Cyanotic heart disease, which is a category of congenital heart defect that results in low levels of oxygen in the blood. [2]

  5. Hemolytic disease of the newborn (ABO) - Wikipedia

    Hgb - the infant's hemoglobin should be tested from cord blood. [5] Reticulocyte count - Reticulocytes are elevated when the infant is producing more blood to combat anemia. [5] A rise in the reticulocyte count can mean that an infant may not need additional transfusions. [18]

  6. Congenital dyserythropoietic anemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Congenital...

    Congenital dyserythropoietic anemia (CDA) is a rare blood disorder, similar to the thalassemias.CDA is one of many types of anemia, characterized by ineffective erythropoiesis, and resulting from a decrease in the number of red blood cells (RBCs) in the body and a less than normal quantity of hemoglobin in the blood. [2]

  7. Transient erythroblastopenia of childhood - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transient_erythroblastopen...

    Individuals with TEC have a median age of presentation of 18–26 months; however, the disorder may occur in infants younger than 6 months and in children as old as age 10 years. Because of the gradual onset of the anemia, children are often healthier than expected from their low hemoglobin levels. [citation needed]

  8. Rh disease - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rh_disease

    Rh disease (also known as rhesus isoimmunization, Rh (D) disease, or rhesus incompatibility, and blue baby disease) is a type of hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn (HDFN). HDFN due to anti-D antibodies is the proper and currently used name for this disease as the Rh blood group system actually has more than 50 antigens and not only the ...

  9. Fetal warfarin syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fetal_warfarin_syndrome

    Inhibition of coagulation and resultant internal bleeding can cause too few red blood cells to be present in the bloodstream and low blood pressure in newborns with fetal warfarin syndrome. [5] Low hemoglobin levels can lead to partial oxygen starvation, a high level of lactic acid in the bloodstream, and acidosis.
