Summary

Hemolytic disease of the newborn is a condition that occurs when fetal red blood cells are destroyed by the mother's antibodies that cross the placenta. This can lead to anemia (a shortage of red blood cells), jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes), and other fetal problems. Hemolytic disease of the newborn can develop during pregnancy or after the baby is born. The condition is commonly classified as ABO or Rh subtypes.
