Deviation can result in Fatal Blood on the Baby

High degree of bilirubin in the blood called hiperbilirubinemia (hiper = excessive, bilirubinemia = bilirubin in the blood), is the result of the rupture of red blood cells. Excessive bilirubin in the blood will cause a yellow color on the surface of the skin so that people know the term jaundice.

In the normal person in the wall there is a red blood cell enzyme G6PD (glucose-6-phospat dehidrogenase) that function to maintain red blood cell wall that is not easily broken when exposed to material that is oksidatif. For example: camphor (containing nafthalen), peanut koro, the sulfa drugs, antibiotics chlorampenicol, antimalaria drugs, the nitrofurans, febrifuge the phenacetin and asetanilid, vitamin K3, vitamin C and high doses.

Contact with materials or drugs can occur through the food / beverage, respiratory, or through the skin. daughter because the mother suffered from lack of blood cell G6PD so easily broken red that may be caused by exposure to the materials above. Because blood cells red broken polynomial, baby mother is also lack of red blood cells so that the body appears pale. G6PD deficiency disease is a genetic / decrease and will suffer for life. Deviation is more established in the gender of men and found in many Asian, Middle Eastern, and Mediterranean. In the new born baby when the value exceeds the limit of normal bilirubin can penetrate the network and the brain that cause permanent brain damage. Finally, the baby will die or disabled for life.

While this treatment has not been found because the specific genetic on. It is therefore important that businesses prevent. In the new born baby, clothes, bed mother and the baby, do not be camphor, this is usually because of factors as and Avoid contact with the materials described above.

In the children of the G6PD deficiency if the drinking or contact with materials, blood cells are broken red will arise so that lack of red blood cells (anemia) from a light to heavy. Is suportif are intended to lower the bilirubin level in blood so it does not enter into the brain network.

To lower the bilirubin level can be used radiotherapy. This is very effective without any side effects. When therapy with radiotherapy kadar bilirubin tended to increase, if possible exchange transfusion can be done. This means the baby is removed blood was replaced with donor blood.

We suggest that the whole family descended from the father and mother to be G6PD for the possibility of this disease so that it can be anticipated. Very be pitied because Indonesian does not know all of the blood, let alone know the difference G6PD this.
