The diagnosis of<unk>  is based on history and laboratory findings: Blood tests done on the<unk>  baby * Biochemistry tests for jaundice including total and direct bilirubin levels. * Complete blood count (CBC) which may show a decreased hemoglobin and hematocrit due to red blood cell destruction * Reticulocyte count which will usually be increased as the bone marrow makes new red blood cells to replace the ones that are being destroyed, and a peripheral blood smear to look at cell morphology. In the presence of significant hemolysis the smear will show schistocytes (fragmented red blood cells), reticulocytosis, and in severe cases Erythroblasts (also known as nucleated red blood cells). * Positive direct Coombs test (might be negative after fetal interuterine blood transfusion) Blood tests done on the mother * Positive indirect Coombs test Blood tests done on the father (rarely needed) * Erythrocyte antigen status
