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.
Hemolytic anemia is an anemia where red blood cells are abnormally broken down. In research findings, there was a link with infants who have pronounced low birth weight and vitamin E deficient. This deficiency leads to hemolytic anemia, which, in turn, triggers the degradation of the red blood cells. Administration of doses of vitamin E proved to be helpful in treating these infants.
