ABO Hemolytic Disease, ABO Incompatibility, Neonatal Jaundice From Other Specified Causes
Conditions
Brief summary
Neonatal jaundice is a major global health issue that can lead to serious complications and even death if not promptly treated. ABO incompatibility is a common cause of pathological neonatal jaundice, but there are currently no specific tests to predict its severity or progression. This project aims to study the role of exosomes in the diagnosis and treatment of newborn jaundice, focusing on their impact on infants with ABO incompatibility. The study will take place at a reference neonatal intensive care unit, involving 45 infants. Serum and breast milk samples will be collected and analyzed to determine any relationships and possible correlations.
Interventions
Neonatal serum and maternal exosome profiles will be studied in all groups.
