A newborn, just five days old, was rushed to Shrimad Rajchandra Hospital and Research Centre’s Neonatal Intensive Care Unit with severe jaundice, posing a threat of permanent neurological damage due to excessive bilirubin. Diagnosis uncovered an additional genetic disorder causing rapid red blood cell breakdown.

The neonatology team responded swiftly, conducting an urgent double volume exchange transfusion – replacing the infant’s blood twice with fresh blood. Subsequent intensive phototherapy further aided recovery. Bilirubin levels plummeted, affirming restored liver function, and discharge revealed normal neurological reports.

Through their adept care and rapid intervention, Shrimad Rajchandra Hospital’s team ensured the newborn received timely treatment, achieving a remarkable and complete recuperation.
