Neonatal hematology is a fast-growing field, and the majority of sick neonates will develop hematological problems. This is an essential guide to the pathogenesis, diagnosis and management of hematologic problems in the neonate. Guidance is practical, including blood test interpretation, advice on transfusions and reference ranges for hematological values. Chapters have been thoroughly revised according to the latest advances in the field for this updated third edition. Topics discussed include erythrocyte disorders, platelet disorders, leukocyte disorders, immunologic disorders and hemostatic disorders. Coverage of oncological issues has been expanded to two separate chapters on leukemia and solid tumors, making information more easily accessible. Approaches to identifying the cause of anemia in a neonate are explained, with detailed algorithms provided to aid clinicians in practice. Covering an important hematologic niche with an ever increasing amount of specialized knowledge, this book is a valuable resource for hematologists, neonatologists and pediatricians.

  • Includes reference ranges for hematological values according to gestational and postnatal age, aiding quick and accurate treatment of patients
  • Describes a practical approach to common and rare hematological problems in neonates
  • Focuses on problem-solving, including the interpretation of common blood tests, transfusions, anemias and platelet problems

Neonatal Hematology 1st Table of contents:

Part I. Developmental Hematology:

  1. A historical review – A retrospective look at the development of hematology and blood disorders.

  2. Hematopoiesis – The study of the formation of blood cells and the development of the hematopoietic system.

  3. Development of the human immune system – How the immune system forms in human neonates and the key factors influencing its development.

Part II. Bone Marrow Failure and Immune Disorders:

  1. Bone marrow failure syndromes – Disorders in which the bone marrow fails to produce enough blood cells, leading to severe health issues.

  2. Immunodeficiency diseases of the neonate – Conditions in which a newborn’s immune system is not functioning properly, leaving them vulnerable to infections.

Part III. Erythrocyte Disorders:

  1. Newborn genetic screening for blood disorders – Newborn screening methods to detect blood-related genetic disorders early.

  2. A guide to identifying the cause of anemia in a neonate – Detailed exploration of causes and diagnostics of anemia in newborns.

  3. Anemia of prematurity and indications for erythropoietin therapy – Anemia that occurs in preterm infants and the role of erythropoietin in treatment.

  4. Hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn – Conditions where the infant’s red blood cells are destroyed due to incompatibility with maternal blood.

  5. Neonatal hemolysis – Destruction of red blood cells in neonates and its causes.

  6. Polycythemia and hyperviscosity in the newborn – Conditions where there are excess red blood cells, leading to thickened blood and complications.

Part IV. Platelet Disorders:

  1. Approach to thrombocytopenia – Understanding and treating low platelet counts in neonates.

  2. Acquired thrombocytopenias – Thrombocytopenia (low platelets) acquired due to infections or other factors.

  3. Fetal and neonatal alloimmune and isoimmune thrombocytopenias – Thrombocytopenia caused by immune responses to incompatible platelet antigens between mother and fetus.

  4. Congenital thrombocytopenias and thrombocytopathies – Inherited platelet disorders leading to low platelet counts or dysfunctional platelets.

Part V. Leucocyte Disorders:

  1. Eosinophils and neutrophils – Discussing the role and disorders related to these key immune cells.

  2. Functional phagocyte disorders in the neonate – Conditions in which phagocytes (cells that engulf and digest pathogens) do not function properly in neonates.

Part VI. Hemostatic Disorders:

  1. Bleeding disorders – Conditions that lead to excessive bleeding in neonates, including hemophilia.

  2. Neonatal thrombosis – Formation of abnormal blood clots in neonates, which can have serious health implications.

Part VII. Neonatal Transfusion Medicine:

  1. Transfusion practices – Guidelines for blood transfusion in neonates, focusing on best practices and safety.

Part VIII. Neonatal Oncology:

  1. Neonatal leukemia – Leukemia and blood cancers in newborns and how they are diagnosed and treated.

  2. Neonatal and perinatal solid tumors – Solid tumors that affect neonates and the challenges of diagnosing and treating them.

Part IX. Miscellaneous:

  1. Disorders of the feto-maternal unit – Conditions that affect the fetus and mother during pregnancy, with a focus on hematologic implications.

  2. Reference intervals in neonatal hematology – Providing reference ranges for blood tests and other hematologic markers in neonates.
