Abstract

Neonatal polycythemia is a clinical condition frequently encountered in newborn babies. Although the definition of polycythemia in newborns, born with physiologically higher values than the adult hematocrit value, is well known, the issue of how to treat which hematocrit value remains unclear. Considering that polycythemia causes severe complications up to infarction in the central nervous system in addition to mild clinical symptoms, up-to-date management guidelines are needed. In this review, the approach to neonatal polycythemia was prepared based on current data.

Neonatal Polisitemi ve Hiperviskozite Sendromu

Abstract

Neonatal polisitemi yenidoğan bebeklerde sıklıkla karşılaşılan klinik bir tablodur. Erişkin hematokrit değerinden fizyolojik olarak daha yüksek değerlerde doğan yenidoğan bebeklerin polisitemi tanımı iyi bilinmesine rağmen hangi hematokrit değerinde nasıl tedavi edileceği konusu belirsizliğini korumaktadır. Polisiteminin hafif klinik semptomlarına ek olarak santral sinir sisteminde infarkta kadar ağır komplikasyonlara neden olduğu düşünüldüğünde bu konuda hazırlanmış güncel yaklaşım kılavuzlarına ihtiyaç vardır. Bu derlemede neonatal polisitemiye yaklaşım güncel verilere dayanarak hazırlanmıştır.

Keywords
