Hemolytic disease of the newborn (HDN), also known as alloimmune HDN or erythroblastosis fetalis, is a potentially fatal alloimmune condition where fetal red blood cells are destroyed by transplacentally acquired maternal antibodies. RhD is the most common offending paternal antigen.
Management of the sensitized neonate. Mild hemolytic disease accounts for 50% of newborns with positive direct antibody test results. Most of these newborns are not anemic (cord hemoglobin [Hb] >14 g/dL) and have minimal hemolysis (cord bilirubin < 4 mg/dL). Apart from early phototherapy, they require no transfusions.
