Uterine transfusions treat severe anemia at Assiut University
A medical team at Women's Health Hospital at Assiut University successfully saved a fetus suffering from severe anemia during pregnancy through four intrauterine blood transfusion sessions over a period of three weeks. Tests showed that the fetus's hemoglobin level had dropped to 2.7 g/dl, with the presence of abdominal ascites and subcutaneous edema, placing the fetus's life at risk. After treatment, the hemoglobin level increased to 9.7 g/dl, and the heart condition improved, indicating a successful response to the therapy. The baby was delivered naturally, with ongoing health monitoring, and the newborn's hemoglobin was 9.5 g/dl after birth. Intrauterine blood transfusion is one of the most precise procedures in fetal medicine, requiring high skill to accurately guide the needle under ultrasound guidance, while ensuring potential risks are minimized.
