  1. Hemolytic Jaundice due to Anti-Mia, Diagnosed by Management with An Hour-Specific Nomogram for Transcutaneous Bilirubin (TcB) Values Jun Kunikata1, Takashi Kusaka2, Saneyuki Yasuda2, Shinji Nakamura2, Kosuke Koyano2, Satoshi Hamano1, Hitoshi Okada1, Susumu Itoh1 1Department of Pediatrics, Faculty of Medicine, Kagawa University, Japan 2Maternal Perinatal Center, Faculty of Medicine, Kagawa University, Japan

  2. Introduction • Hemolytic jaundice can develop in neonates born to mothers who have irregular antibodies in her blood. • All pregnant women are recommended to have irregular antibody screening test, but many irregular antibodies tend to be missed through routine prenatal screening tests.

  3. Introduction • Low frequency antibodies are rare causes of hemolytic jaundice and there are no established management methods for these antibodies. • We experienced a case of hemolytic jaundice due to anti-Mia antibody that was diagnosed early by transcutaneous jaundice meter.

  4. Transcutaneous jaundice meter (Konica Minolta, JM-103) 150 g

  5. 97.5%tile Average 2.5%tile Transcutaneous Bilirubin (TcB) Levels in the First 72 Hours in a Normal Newborn Population in JAPAN 342 TcB (µM) 171 TcB (mg/dL) 0 Postnatal Age (hours)

  6. Case Report • Patient : A male infant delivered by cesarean section at 38 weeks' gestation with a birth weight of 3148 g. • Anti-Mia had been found in his mother’s serum in a prenatal antibody screening test. • He showed no abnormal findings at birth and was admitted to a newborn nursery. But a transcutaneous jaundice meter (JM-103) showed 1.8 mg/dL (30.8 μM) one hour after birth, which were above the treatment line in our hour-specific nomogram. • So we admitted him to our NICU and started treatment.

  7. Clinicalcourse and management of jaundice 2 hours after birth plasma total bilirubin 6.1mg/dL (104.3 μM) 1 hour after birth transcutaneous jaundice meter (JM-103) showed 1.8 mg/dL (30.8 μM)

  8. Laboratory data (2 hours after birth)

  9. Clinical course and management of jaundice Administration of γ-globulin Diagnosis: Hemolytic jaundice induced by anti-Mia antibody Jaundice was swiftly improved Starting Photo therapy Need no further treatment after Day 3

  10. About anti-Mia antibody • Anti-Mia is one of irregular antibodies that react with the Mi III phenotype. • Several studies have reported that Asians tend to have Mi III phenotype much more than Whites: 7.3% in Taiwan Chinese blood donors, 6.28% in Hong Kong Chinese blood donors, 9.7% in Thai blood donors and 0.0098% in Whites). • The frequency of Anti-Mia antibody among Chinese patients is 0.28%.1) • There are only a few reports of hemolytic disease caused by anti-Mia, so Mia antigen is not considered to be necessary to test red blood cells for irregular antibody screening test. 1)R.E.Broadberry and M.Lin, The incidence and significance of anti-”Mi” in Taiwan, TRANSFUSION 1994;34;349-352.

  12. Antigen Profile of test red blood cells

  13. Discussions • Difficulty in finding low frequency antibodies prevent us from predicting and treating hemolytic jaundice promptly. • We can use transucutaneous jaundice meter to predict hemolytic jaundice so that kernicterus or exchange transfusion will be prevented.

  14. Conclusion • Transcutaneous jaundice meter and an hour-specific 97.5th percentile-based TcB nomogram is useful in the management of newborn jaundice as a non-invasive first-line examination.

  15. Management of jaundice and treatment progress
