NCT ID: NCT00917007 Withdrawn - Neonatal Jaundice Clinical Trials

Measurement of Carboxyhemoglobin by Gas Chromatography as an Index of Hemolysis

Start date: June 2009
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The purpose of this research study is to more accurately measure the amount of true red blood cell breakdown (hemolysis) in newborn babies with potentially problematic blood type mismatch with their mothers (ABO incompatibility), and to examine how the true level of red blood cell destruction relates to other laboratory tests obtained in newborns with jaundice. A better understanding of the true amount of red blood cell destruction that is caused by blood type mismatch, as well as how it relates with other laboratory tests ordered for ABO incompatibility and red blood cell destruction, would help avoid unnecessary testing, treatment and prolonged hospital stays in such babies.
