Abstract

Significant hyperbilirubinemia, anemia, and splenomegaly are common features in cases of Rh incompatibility with severe hemolysis whereas conjugated hyperbilirubinemia and high CRP levels are uncommon. Herein, we reported a newborn referred to our clinic because of hyperbilirubinemia due to Rh incompatibility on the first day of life with conjugated hyperbilirubinemia. She had severe hemolysis with conjugated hyperbilirubinemia and high CRP levels. Rarely, we wanted to emphasized that high conjugated bilirubin and CRP levels may be associated with severe Rh incompatibility.

Özet

Ağır hemolizi olan Rh uygunsuzluğu vakalarında şiddetli hiperbilirubinemi, anemi ve splenomegali yaygın görülen özelliklerdir. Ancak ciddi direkt bilirubin ve CRP yüksekliği nadir görülmektedir. Burada yaşamın ilk gününde Rh uygunsuzluğuna bağlı hiperbilirubinemi nedeniyle kliniğimize yatırılan, şiddetli direkt hiperbilirubinemi ve CRP yüksekliğinin de bulunduğu ağır hemolizi olan bir yenidoğan olgusu sunuldu. Nadirde olsa, ciddi Rh uygunsuzluğuna direkt bilirubin ve CRP yüksekliğinin eşlik edebileceği vurgulanmak istendi.
